In general there are many important topics EA doesn’t focus on, government is just one of many. To answer your question specifically, an EA would probably become easily frustrated with government inefficiency, especially when you are dealing with people who actively try to make it inefficient. I personally have multiple ideas on this topic, but never been able to meaningfully work on them, to some extent directly because of government inefficiency.
The other issue you run into is that to be part of the EA movement you do need some level of privilege, and people with privilege often have a difficult time seeing things that don’t impact them. Government isn’t seen as so much of an issue when the government is benefitting them.
