Keyword being uncorrupt.

Governments are run by people, at the end of the day

Humans will be humans. You can't eliminate corruption, but you can work to fight it. Every day. Forever...

Private companies are also run by people. "The market" is also affected by people making imperfect decisions all the time, waiting for it to self regulate is...well, I mean, aren't we still waiting?

The problem is politics and government becoming part of the market where laws, regulations and power can be sold and bought, if not for money then for influence.
