So the example given to decry a hypothetical, obviously bad situation applies even better to what they’re proposing. It’s every bit the same coercion as they’re decrying, but with less personal benefit and choice (you get nothing out of this deal.). And they admit this? This is self-refuting.
Security agencies don’t have any more reason to compete on quality than countries do, it’s actually less, because they have every bit as much force, and you don’t really have any say. What, you’re in the middle of a million people with company A security, and you think you can pick B and they’ll be able to do anything?
