So they have access to your crypto keys right?
Not necessarily, no. I won’t even bother reading the stuff, but it is perfectly possible to have systems where user’s cryptographic keys are kept under the sole control of the user, being using client-only known secrets for encryption, wallet-like software, or even more basically keeping the key only in local storage and telling the user the seed so he can “recover” it if the local storage gets wiped/lost.
Bottom point is, it is very possible to do so, and it can be done in a safe-enough manner for most people without much hassle. Of course, that’s theoretical; weither or not corporations care about actual privacy, control, and are willing to work toward these is another matter entirely. But the technology have been there for years.
