SpaceX couldn't offer the prices they do without state aid. Their prices are held down by overpriced military contract launches. So much so that several space agencies ( EU, Russian, etc.) have said that SpaceX are not competing as a private company but as a state sponsored company. This is not the move from state to private launches but the merger of Defense contractor's and NASA's budgets. SpaceX is being used to prop up US launches against foreign competitors. That's not moving out of Defense but keeping it close to heart by throwing money at them.
