They mightn't have direct say, but the army would still be beholden to them (being on the "right side") under the current legal understanding. Of course, when the AI army takes over what we know today isn't apt to hold much water. A coup, as we established, is very plausible. However, as you cannot predict the future it isn't unreasonable to try to place the bet given what you do know. That's all you can really do. If you end up on the losing side in the end you'd also still be on that side if you did act at all, so why not take the chance if you believe one of these companies will eventually take all?
Maybe you mean that you could see the employees of those companies staging a coup to seize the army for themselves? That's certainly possible. They'd be in a good position to do so. Predicting the future is impossible, but if you want to be on the "right side" of that future army, owning its foundation today is still a reasonable bet.
