I can understand caution and concern and it’s healthy to have it. That said, I’m unable to think of or find obvious examples of them having a track record of using foundations like this for their own agenda at the expense of the community, language or only to further their own ends. Even with the browser stuff there’s Chrome the product which makes a lot of changes that does hurt the community but then there’s Googles representation on tc39 and in the web standards groups. With that I haven’t found evidence of malpractice or foul play. Please give me some concrete evidence that they have a history of this as I’m not finding it. Doesn’t mean that as a whole these companies get a pass for Bad behavior, I think a key to a great argument against something is to be able to scope what it does and doesn’t do, so I hate to say they are doing this for malicious reasons only to be wrong (and again I’m not seeing evidence) and undercutting more legitimate arguments. Fundamentally that’s the arching issue we end up with by just making assumptions without evidence at a minimum
