You don't understand. It's not about getting everything for US. It's about getting everything major in the hands of US+satellites (aka vassals, or call it 5 eyes, 20 eyes, etc), because they can control them and they're somewhat 'friendly'.
So US is ok for Sony to be major in anything (because it has power over Japan), they're ok with Ericsson/Nokia with 5G (cause it has power over EU, and they don't have their own players in this market).

But they're not ok with Huawei (China), because they don't have the same amount of control over them.

Also they might from time to time screw even the satellites if it benefits their own (US) players and gives even more control (see killing Nokia over Google/Apple, or throwing obstacles over Nordstream2, because they have their own condensed gas players).
