That is true, there is no absolute freedom. But I also think instead of twisting their arms, feds simply give them enough incentive to do it. Imagine a company completely supported by the government. There is no shortage of money, no risk of getting bankrupt, big contracts between government bodies, even better infrastructure support. How much can they lose by doing this? I don't think much.
