Why is everyone so angry at the companies for complying with these government orders instead of being angry at the government that's ordering them to do these illegal things?
Because 1) we want as many barriers to tyranny as possible. We should not be relying upon government self-restraint. And 2) "I was only following orders" is not a defense against wrong doing.

A number of us are angry at both.
