That's an exaggeration. For example, we already require companies to serve disabled customers. They can't just choose to refuse service to them. Have we already "seized control" over these companies? I don't think so. Nor would it be the case with this proposal.

Yes, the government has. It just allots them quite a bit of liberty over how those companies are managed.

Fundamentally, once the state dictates how the property may be used in private interaction, it has abrogated the right of the nominal owner to their private property.
