And yet they do: we may play in this sandbox, but we don't make decisions about the infrastructure, we don't make decisions about the law around it etc. This is congruent to the American political and legal system.
As you pointed out, it gets more confusing when you get international, but it's informative to look into how much control the US (and West in general) has over global internet infrastructure.
