Legacy companies, like GM and Ford, were and are playing the ZEV/Carbon Credit game. As in, produce enough to grab some headlines but only produce what you need to offset your emissions; hence even Ford plays this game with a 50k limit on Mach E production.
They were quite will to wait for government to build out the charging network or have others do so. Heck I am still surprised Tesla's system hasn't been forced open. Both New York and California have had politicians float that idea before by different means; one requiring all stations to accept credit cards and the other jacking up electricity rates for stations not support all brands.
Still think it may be in Tesla's best interest to eventually sell off their charging network. As a Tesla owner it really getting to the point state side that buying one may be a negative as the only connector they offer is their own; they really should put one on both sides of each type or offer that.

I’ve said elsewhere in this thread, but forcing them to open their system would really bother me. They built this out in spite of everything while legacy did nothing. If legacy wants compatibility they should have to pay for it.
