What I find amazing is that in this capitalist world, these companies are really against private property (yours, not theirs) I am not sure if private property is in the definition of capitalism, probably not, so there may be no contradiction. But still it is really amazing.

Capitalism is about using capital to produce something. Capital and the means of production are privately owned. This is the opposite of communism, which lets people own things but not the production system (actual implementations might vary.)

It's in the spirit of capitalism to be competitive so don't be surprised if those companies want all those things from us.

It's ironic, because the delineation[1] between personal and private property is often blurred by capitalism, yet it is laid bare in this example.
