Agreed, but at least the big companies have actual security people thinking about such things. The open source community appears (to me) to be much more trusting.

If I were the NSA, CIA, FBI, MI6, FSB, Mossad, MSS (China) and RGB (N. Korea) ... I'd make a priority to get moles in place to access all the larger clouds. End-to-end encryption doesn't protect you if the people making the software are compromised. Google docs, iCloud, AWS, Azure, etc. are all prime targets.

I guess the open source community should take pride in being successful enough to be a target too.
