In the EU we have consumer organisations to deal with problems. They also help us to push for better legislation.
In that sense the government is a service to the people/voters instead of a sell-out to the companies... some of the time.

I believe it becomes a problem when govt or govt entities move from: "this product doesn't operate as intended" or "this isn't safe" to: "we think these designs are better for these X people. You should make this product, now..."

Unfortunately, everyone has a price.
