I don't think the corporations see it as being brought to heel, generally speaking. It's like net neutrality; those who are already big will thrive because they can afford to implement the govs requirements while the littler guys can't afford it and will just pull out of the UK.
At least what will be how it is while the government scrambles to unfuck themselves for the young persons vote in the next election.
I think that's one of the big theories for sure. You're not alone.
And maybe Trump has made them more comfortable with supplication, but I suspect once they've eliminated some competitions they'll find a way to wriggle out of it (or turn it further to their advantage, likely through using it to control the flow of information or something as pedestrian as tracking ads).
