nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined

consumer protections can be implemented with regulations

Oh, I didn't downvote you. Others did, government corporations by themselves don't act like monopolies because they do not prioritise money but instead influence and power, you wouldn't need predatory tactics to keep people using your state owned solutions and a government wouldn't employ predatory tactics to beat down on competitors, if it truly was meant only for the government then it would have private investment into the field made illegal.
