That's the real problem. The rest of the industry relies on GA as a foundation, to one degree or another.
I could write a paragraph listing all of the things which are fundamentaly wrong with government, and always will be, but some functions in society lend themselves best to government, not private, regulation. Law enforcement (including prisons), national defense, nuclear regulatory, and ATC are examples of functions which .gov needs to retain.
