>All those things should actually be under the purview of the government, rather than businesses.
you know the reason these things are payed for by bussiness right?
most social welfare programs are created after world war 2, because the alternative was the workers simply seizing the wealth of their former bosses by force.
OP seems to greatly understimate how close most countries in europe came to a mass revolt of civil war after world war 1 and world war 2. (1848 revolutions are also an important time in history for civil rights).
the dutch for instance, have a constitution thanks to the threat of revolution in 1848. The alternative was the threat of revolution and the violent end of the monarchy.
The same is basically true for labour rights. In most european countries these got implemented after world war 1 and during the great depression, a time in which a lot of people got destitute and had acces to weaponry.(World war 1 also left a massive social trauma in many nations, leading to revolutions because of its effects on society).
