Well, at least the bureaucratic inefficiencies are entirely incidental to the problem, and there's no evidence for corporate bureaucracies to be any better than public ones,

Corporations that develop excessive inefficiencies tend to go bankrupt. (Ok, sometimes they can get government bailouts or are otherwise propped up by the government, but that is another against government intervention.)

Not if all their competitors are also inefficient.

I don't see a corporate world which has spawned works like the Dilbert comics as inside critiques as a compelling example of a race to the top.
