It's a false comparison. Government are not trying to be innovative. They said but trying to invent new form of governing the state.

At best, a restructure of a department is an RnD for a state. Hell, even elections could be considered RnD...

It's comparing to the R&D budgets of all companies AND government in France to Amazon. Presumably the companies are trying to be innovative.
