There are people that live many miles away from the nearest public infrastructure, outside of roads and electricity.

Yes! And they should move away and be helped with that.

Rural places will never have city services. Never. There's only a tiny minority of professionals and artists who want to heroically settle into such places. What would be needed in this case, if you really wanted it, would be a military/authoritarian like regime to force people to work there. It happened in the past, I have lived in such times in my part of Europe. I don't see that happening in liberal capitalism.
