Following your logic, then any other sovereign non-US states must forbid their their citizens and companies to use US technology in order to avoid US stealing the data. At least they should forbid it to those organisations and citizens who as you say access sensitive information. Still, even after Snowden, the whole world uses Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Google technology everyday. This is not a prove that your logic is wrong, but I am wondering how much today's intelligence services are interested in protecting their own companies and citizens from data breaches. It might be that they are more interested into stealing as much data as possible themselves in order to be able to negotiate with foreign states/services.
