In your view, why has the Saudi government, i.e. the House of Saud, not been overthrown, and replaced by a more modern government, one in which a family does not own the country?

The family, in essence, owns all the wealth.

Is it because the government keeps the citizens in a good standard of living?

The days when a family rules a nation is a concept from the middle ages.

Thank you very much Mikado for your explanation in answer to my question about Saudi Arabia and the House of Saud.  I learned a great deal from your answer.

I am most impressed with your in depth knowledge and understanding of history.
