If my employer has the data - the government can subpoena it if it really wants to. It's effectively accessible to both entities. If only the government has it, at least my employer doesn't have it. Edit: More damningly, if my employer has it multiple governments potentially have access to it. Companies generally aren't willing to stand up to requests from, for example, China.
