Techonlogically, yes. The problem has been getting private finiancing
for manned ventures. The risks are so great that no one wants to
touch it. The government is the only entity with enough money that
can live with the risk.

So even if the ISS is succeeded by a private station serviced by
Dragon and/or Starliner, there would proably be government funding.
It might be through an arrangement similar to the commercial crew and
cargo prgrams, but that's probably where the money would come from.
