That would work for projects important enough to be worth the government's attention. But we don't want every small project ever to be dependent on that.
Do you really see some teenager trying to meet a civil servant to explain how their Super Random RPG 2025 wiki is worth it, and the project is finally accepted (or refused, because the civil servant isn't too hot about giving government money to something about video games) half a year later, when the most intense players, who would have contributed to such a platform a lot, have already finished the game?
I absolutely like that idea and I think it could be great for big sites like Wikipedia and various Internet Archive projects.
But I really don't think it solves everything.
