Local government is disincentivized to build a system because they already has something up for free from the Big Tech.

Case in point: No one built a group-chat for our government officials cause Telegram is free.

Local governments are unable to do it right because, well, they are bureaucrats who cant differentiate the left hand from their right hand. Governments IT systems are eternal money sink holes only producing power points and weekly status reports to be forever forgotten.
