Why backwards? Seems like governments should respond to the will of the people, whereas companies make decisions in their own interest based on profit.
You could say customers vote with their money. Or you could pass laws requiring regulations to drive such a shift. But ultimately that would all take longer than simply passing laws to change how the government spends on IT and services?
Companies are supposed to be the nimble ones, not the government. Most of the time it’s companies that drive adoption of something, not governments. Governments are normally the slowest at adopting anything that makes sense.
To now turn it around and say “no, we will wait until the government adopts the tech” is backwards.
