It suggests someone at Y Combinator now alieves he has magical superpowers about cutting through government procurement bureaucracy.
Not quite. This is a list of requests—the Y Combinator would like to find ways to achieve magical superpowers to cut through the government procurement bureaucracy.
Then why did the section talk about how inefficient government software was rather than cutting through procurement bureaucracy?

Large companies don’t have a monopoly on providing bad software to governments, even if they have advantages.
