> I only wish these services did 1 thing differently - and that is, release a live video stream of their server farm's rack

This is security theatre. Anyone wanting to surreptitiously access the server farm only has to stream an alternate video to defeat this.

But it still builds trust in the brand.

No one is safe from a state actor.

Trying to gain trust against something you have no control over is the very definition of security theatre.
Um, no.

I'm saying that staff can be observed as behaving correctly, professionally, and more. This would build trust in the brand from multiple perspective, not just security.

There are been a few cases in which this has turned around public opinion re: trust.

That's really fair, and I think you have a good point. Perhaps operating in a publicly visible place - think floor-to-ceiling windows at that particular server rack.
