Here's a clue.

If I switch my water or electricity provider from company ABC to company XYZ, I am getting the same water molecules and the same electrons delivered to my house regardless of provider.

Likewise, if I want to take a train from Guildford to London, I don't have a choice of trains from different providers to choose from.

The utilities and the railways are populated by middle-men spivs on the take and using the public as a cash cow simply because they can. They're not providing any function beyond creating cartels. They're exactly like the bankers.
