Have you ever worked for government IT? Most of it is ages behind private sector.

I’m not saying there isn’t crap in the private sector, but in my experience government really sucks managing IT.

No. Large organizations suck at managing IT, simply because it’s not crucial for them to keep it managed and they usually have enough institutional insulation to mitigate the impacts. Whether that insulation is money or disregard of the public doesn’t matter all that much.
