As someone who works in/around government, this is because even the smallest of the small changes are blocked by horrendous amounts of policy, political positioning, lack of funding, gatekeeping, manpower issues and power plays by managers.
The system is super broken to represent effective change.
That said, I can quiet readily admit that the current provincial NDP government has surprised me on numerous occasions. I don't like everything they say or do but there have been several moments where I have been like "Wow, that actually makes sense and I'm happy they are doing this" which is super, super rare nowadays.
