I'd say nation states, which means the US and possibly other nation states effectively have root on virtually all SaaS systems.
It's exactly the architecture I'd promote if I wanted a total panopticon, but I'm not suggesting a conspiracy. Ease of use is the most powerful force in computing and history has shown that people will trade privacy, security, freedom, cost, and virtually anything else for it.
It does make a certain amount of sense. Time is non-fungible; no amount of money can buy more of it. So ease of use by saving time is extremely valuable and commands a high price.
The problem is that IMO the cost of all this SaaS automation is higher than most people understand. There's some rather huge hidden costs here.
