      explicitly, once the government starts doing something you can be sure it will never stop because in doing the thing it strangles and kills whatever rich social processes existed to do the thing before

          Wait you're saying my bureau can keep getting more budget and more power if I can just just once convince a body to arrogate a little bit of the relevant mission to us? Sign me up to self-perpetuate in perpetuity!

          Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. A lot of those "rich social processes" were horrible and abusive.

          It's also surprisingly good at convincing successive generations that but for government, that thing could not and would not be done.

          would you say this is any different than commoditization? s/business/government i.e. many entities/orgs can crowd out

          This is super true, although it's really important to note that those "rich social processes" are frequently partially bad, if not almost fully rotten (they can include e.g. previous governments). So there are actual tradeoffs
