There are many many services that cannot be done by businesses. From the foundational regulatory framework and enforcement of laws that make substantial businesses possible in the first place, to more practical things like safety and security.

That these cannot be done by businesses is just an assertion, re-enforcing the status quo.
"The Machinery of Freedom"[0] is a book describing how a lot of these could work. I'm not yet sold that they would, but I'm not outright discarding the ideas.

Oh I don’t disagree that there aren’t things that could rather be served by businesses.
What I haven’t heard however are a couple of good examples (in a particular society) that are viable and would make a material positive dent, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some good ideas, especially in jurisdictions where a govt does a lot.
