I don't doubt the NSA is spying. I think making the assertion without documentation that Google et al. have huge teams of people dedicated to helping them spy is a bit beyond the pale.
Consider the salary and benefits and office space costs of one employee at Google. Then assume that the backdoor interface requires at least a few employees. You're already at $1M. Now imagine a bit of extra infrastructure, people to deal with communications, legal, etc., and you're in the millions.
