The private sector aren't exactly the best, but the alternative on recent performance isn't going to make things any better. A rock and a hard place.

I’ve said this all along. They couldn’t organise a teddy bears picnic let alone manage a franchised network.
At the start of the pandemic while operators were reducing commercial services and they were furloughing staff they were very very reluctant to allow subsidised services to be reduced in anyway because legally they had to keep paying the operator to run (or not). Complete shambles.
