Equinix only provide the physical space and power, and things can be set up with them not even having physical access to your room/cage, other than forcing it (which would be visible). While they could be an attack vector, with modern hardware even having physical access is not a guarantee to having access to the data (TPM2 and disk encryption are trivial to set up).

The risk is much lower than e.g. AWS.

Sorta, but it’s like saying that using Chinese equipment for your telecommunications infrastructure is fine.

It’s not a great thing to have your infra hosted anywhere that can be legally compelled by a US government.
