Eh. I guess I understand some suspicion, but for better or worse a very large portion of the internet is US-centric. It's pretty difficult to use any major internet content and avoid US based stuff entirely.
Also from what I've seen, while these companies may be US-based they 100% have their own profits prioritized over any national interests. I'd be surprised to learn of any kind of overt nationalism biased towards the US from Google, for instance.
