I thought it's that they didn't trust the government.

Exactly. It's not any illusion of being 'better'. Some level of distrust is pretty rational, governments have their own agendas and those might not always be aligned with that of a multinational. And if multiple governments want to be involved in your IT infrastructure it could get pretty messy. You're inviting the "cyberwar" on your turf instead of keeping it out.

I guess Estonians do trust their government, at least the IT part of it, they even vote online.
That section made me laugh, seriously, it's not because they think they are smarter and better, they just don't want to deal with the gov and be told what to do.
