I don't think it's a fair comparison. Yes, Google and Apple and Meta all collect data, but they are part of a country where their misuse can be challenged in fair courts and they can (and have) been fined.

I don't think if Meta was a Chinese company they would have ever had released(or allowed to) end to end encryption

What is done by the secrets services ia not challenged, at least not in real time.

It is exactly the same.
