Because the tech behind it isn't cheap and money does not fall from trees.

No entity on the planet has more money than our governments. It’d be more efficient for a government to fund this than any private company.

Many governments on the planet have less money than some big tech or oil companies. Obviously not those of large industrious nations, but most nations aren't large and industrious.

The government and efficiency don't go together

Plenty of research shows that each dollar into government programs gets much more returns than private companies. This literally a neolib propaganda talking point.

That's a lazy generalization.

There is nothing objectively wrong with your statement. However, we somehow always default to solving that issue by having some dragon hoard enough gold, and there is something objectively wrong with that.

Money literally does fall from trees as they are pieces of paper

Actually many bills are more of a fabric material now than an actual paper product. Many bills in Europe now are polymer based. Both of which add to the difficulty of counterfeiting

Actually most of the money are just 1‘s and 0‘s in a computer, coming into existence from nothing and vanishing into nothing. Fiat money backed by "trust". As Henry Ford once said:

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
