To answer your question, Marxists analyze the state as an extension of a given ruling class in society. In capitalism, that means the state is under the control of the capitalists. Capitalists would never allow their sole sources of plunder be gradually taken from them unless the state had supremacy over them and was under the control of the working class.
The PRC actually kinda does what you’re talking about, but they can only do this because they implemented a socialist system following a revolution. The commanding heights of the economy are overwhelmingly publicly owned, and the state exerts strong control over the medium firms as well. As these firms develop, they become easier to fold into the public sector, and thus are absorbed or more directly controlled.
No problem!
