On what they would and wouldn't do - yes, I try not to make opinions.

But perhaps I underestimate the scale of that practice.

Considering that the balance of power between US government and, say, Meta is not much different from the same between it and Russian government (Meta doesn't have a military, but has ways to compensate for that), that should be right.
