It happens all the time.
When new ideas get started, they are largely financed with public resources
(=governments with taxpayers money), often in a lack of interest of the
private sector.
When things get off the ground, and the possibility of making money out of
it is realized, there is a sudden great pressure to get the evil government
their hands off what is perceived as private property.
Sometimes the same people are participating in both phases ;>).
