Really? I don't think so. Governments have ways of influencing
markets in ways that very few individuals/companies (except
ones based in Redmond) ever can.

It would be sufficient to start mandate that government and government
funded bodies use licensed TTPs - so that's the universities taken care
of for a start (sound FX: large explosion in Pembroke Street).
After that, any companies which bid for government
contracts must use licensed TTPs for security between company and
government. After a while, how many companies are going to put up
with the expense of using one CA for government communications and
an unlicensed one for other comms?

And don't think that there's going to be a shortage of bodies lining
up for TTP work - the large banks would love the opportunity.
