This is already the current state of affairs. The state has a DMV site which is controlled by the DMV where they post all the information you probably need to know about the DMV, the online processes to do things on it, etc. If you want to talk about it, you can feel free to share a link to it anywhere you want.
For example, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles website, available at https://www.txdmv.gov/ . They host the site, well, they pay contractors to manage and run the site. The Texas DMV controls the content on the site; companies like Facebook or Discord can't control what the State of Texas wants to publish on it.
They're making more vanity license plates, and so they have example designs and polls related to the designs on the site here: https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/license-plates/eview we can share this link with our friends and family through Facebook, Twitter, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, SMS, iMessage, LINE, your own personal blog, whatever you want.

Except every gov't agency re-writes this software. My point was to create a common standard that can work in 100+ languages and all kinds of useful features for gov't websites. Maybe Wordpress can already do everything...
Any how does Texas DMV host? On-prem, public cloud, or 3rd party hosted?
Looking at the source, its a Drupal site. So yes, at its core it is an open source software stack probably with a lot of state-owned templates, themes, and plugins made and/or managed by their contractors. Its fronted by Cloudfront, I don't know if its then being hosted on AWS, some other cloud provider, a state-run datacenter, or a raspberry pi under a desk at one of the DMV offices.
Either way, each DMV and other state agency or agencies in other states is going to want to craft the site in its own fashion for its own "brand". Whether or not this is a good thing is debatable, there's pros and cons each way IMO. You're going to need to have certain kinds of integrations and plugins into byzantine ancient computer systems that each agency also owns and manages. It'll practically never be some quick one-click deploy to make a DMV site; every DMV between all the states are different. They have different forms, different workflows, different database systems for their old systems, different priorities their state legislatures have given them, etc.
