Palo Alto did a fiber ring that they lease out to vendors of all
stripes.They didn't try to do any WiFi or the like; but they did create
an environment for any and all to get onboard. It's a bit pricey, but
you avoid digging up streets (and all the right of way issues) to
install your private fiber.

So far they don’t have a good track record.
I think it is due to electrons and water molecules not need individual
routing.

Most water systems are municipal. A handful of electric companies are
municipal. In principal there's no reason a municipal internet
service couldn't succeed.
I think municipal broadband hasn't often worked out because people
involved underestimate how difficult and/or expensive it's going to
be. We could think up plenty of sarcastic ways to say this, but I
think that's the root of the problem.

Not intentionally. I just copied and pasted the blurb from the
vendor in the email. The RFP seems real. Ill conceived, intended,
and with poor hindsight to other results perhaps but real all the
same. I am not sure what else to expect from the communist state of
California though.
