My upstream commercial provider is not a US company, which makes a subpoena an international incident: a much higher bar. I also pay them for the service precisely because I want them to consider my best interest: they are likely to fight broad subpoenas. (they have admitted to giving data for a few subpoenas, but this is a small percent of their customers not everyone)
