What things provided as government services are superior to things provided
by private providers motivated by the potential for profit?

Just about every monopoly service is superior in quality when provided by the
government.

A profit motive can work to improve quality and efficiency and lower costs
when there is competition at work and these things are necessary to retain
business. But when there is no competition, the profit motive works in
exactly the opposite way, destroying quality and efficiency and raising costs
through the roof.
