The nature of decisions is completely different. Microsoft cannot put you in jail, confiscate your property etc. Also, microsoft has outlived a ton of governments who lost the trust of the public.

Companies can spy on you. With a data protection law, the government can put you in jail and confiscate your property. Companies cannot spy on you.
