Reality check. If US-based Big Tech is undoubtedly pwned by USGov interests, why should you think that non-US-based tech is any different? Do you really think that MI5/6 leaves Canonical alone? Red Hat is IBM and US-based too. Are the Finnish/Scandinavian authorities just patting Linus on the head and saying "do whatever you want bro!" I think that it takes significant leaps of logic, yeah even with pervasive F/OSS, that non-US intelligence is somehow weaker or less interested than US-based ones. In fact, your typical Linux supply chain and SBOM is far, far more complex than anything Windows can serve up. There are so many juicy opportunities in there.
