Couldn’t you count any US based company that takes major government contracts, or has board members who were formerly high in government (eg. Dropbox/Condoleezza Rice) as a “government operative”?

Nope. Presumably their former positions on their resumes are why former government employees are on such boards/in such positions. Expecting/wanting certain things on a resume are standard practice.

As long as National Security Letters are a thing, that can encompass most companies.
