That startup, run by a handful of volunteers, is one of the most competent organizations out there, believe it or not.
They may be competent, but not in the necessary areas.

That goes both ways. The government (or at least our version of it; the Russians have a better system in this regard) is not competent to operate in space in a way that doesn't involve the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars on a schedule measured in decades. NASA knows its competencies, and plans its budgets and schedule accordingly.
The startup has competency in doing things cheaply and routinely. We don't know when/if the startups will hit critical mass, but, if successful, the startup way is the preferable path.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
