Does it? Because these companies systematically broke copyright law by illegally downloading terabytes of copyrighted content and there's been no consequences.
Past behaviour informs future trust and I wouldn't trust these companies whatsoever.

no it doesn't. If it would have teeth they would not resell copyright data. They will be busted like Kim DotCom

Obviously don't know for sure, but I can very easily seeing a combination of "move fast and break things", "it's easier to ask for forgiveness", "too big to fail", "I know tech, so I know everything", "AI is gonna change the world so fucking much, it doesn't matter what happens now", and finally "I cannot fail! I must make it work!" making especially con artist Sam just straight not care.
