Not really.
It's a web browser and from a non-tech politician they already have the internet.
It's pretty hard to get a government to understand why the 1000 webkit browsers aren't actually competitive.
They'd rather send money and regulations towards something they can better understand like healthcare or right to repair. Heck, even "AI".

You're demonstrating my point for me: the institutions tasked with governing our lives and protecting us from wrongdoers are increasingly divorced from reality. Albeit moroseo in america than anywhere.

I could count on one hand the jurisdictions in which a publicly-funded browser wouldn’t eventually cause a voter backlash. Unless it—and the rest of the government—are run perfectly, paying for something most people get for free sounds like corruption.
