I think this sort of project is a thing that all governments should adopt. These products set a baseline for affordability and performance, against which commercial competitors would have to compete against. This essentially creates a more ideal capitalism, without requiring direct pricing controls.
Also, the government providing baseline products is good for the important part of the economy: getting realworld stuff done. Cargo can’t move itself, and we want people to minimize the amount of energy and time spent doing everything. By freeing up time and money, people can use these resources for raising family, forming bonds, and engaging in hobbies.
Nations should work towards ensuring that all their citizens can live their best lives.
This has generally been my position forever. Have the state (goverments are just the rulers in place. The state is everybody) provide the baseline of all necesities at cost, but allow anybody to compete with these companies by having better prices or services.
