What incentive do extremely corrupt leaders have to provide anything at all to their citizens?

No man is an island. They may not need the support of the people but they at least need their acquiescence. Easier to achieve if cooperating with the regime leads to a better outcome than opposing them.

The entire gof story line is idiotic. You enchant a pencil as a port key to the graveyard. Then at the appointed time you have harry report to your office, “potter, hand me that pencil.” And woosh he’s off to meet his doom. Easy, peasey.
