The State owning them is a proxy for shared responsibility. Because in democracies, the people controls the State by means of parliaments/senates/etc.
Besides, the State doesn't have to own everything. There's a middle ground between the flexibility of private ownership and the rigorousness of public management.
In the USSR everything was controlled by the State, and the State wasn't accountable by means of democracy.
I must say that from were I come, I have some pretty good examples of good public management, like healthcare and water management.
