The existence of classified programs that remain classified and unknown for years is evidence against this oft-used argument.
The only reason you know of the existence of these programs is because they leaked...
Spoiler alert! From the base64 encoded array in the source: ['how to appear funny', 'why are my thumbs uneven', 'am i lack toast and tolerant', 'your youre difference', 'why doesnt my poo float', 'midget google images', 'tall midgets??', 'homemade lube?', 'i hate my boss', 'what counts as fat', 'how to tell partner they fat', 'is it normal to still love my ex', 'how to get back with ex', 'penis remove dog how to', 'r…

Are there really people that believe there's a possibility that they don't?
I'm no security expert, but I was under the impression that HSTS pinning would make that hard to do, especially on sites like google.com. And I can't quite parse your sentence to know if you're implying that all companies do... (or just that I shouldn't be so naive as to assume none are), but I can see the cert chain for google.com in my browser at ${big_company} and it doesn't seem like I'm being MITM'd.
Certificate pinning, on the other hand, allows a client to refuse to connect to a TLS service that fails to prevent the correct certificate. This is generally a win, however it still doesn't give you what you want.
Firefox and Chromium (including Chrome) browsers will only validate certificate pins if the presented certificate is a public trust anchor (in otherwords, the certificates deployed by the operating system). If the certificate chains to a private trust anchor (a certificate installed by your admin), Firefox and Chromium based browsers will smile, wink, and play along.
So, yes, in theory these technologies could protect you, but the vendors that implemented Public Key Pinning opted to support the enterprise use case instead of protecting users.
This is super irresponsible to have on HN. Not funny. Especially for people who live in despot countries. Not sure if the USA counts quite yet.

Because that's annoying, history is useful sometimes, and logging in to multiple times to multiple sites is a chore. Edit: grammar
