Why don't large organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. provide a looking glass tool?

Hi,

Why don't large organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. provide a looking glass tool for network troubleshooting? (For example, to inspect the BGP table/best paths or traceroutes).

Correct me if I am wrong on this... but i checked PeeringDB and apparently none of them do.

Since they host a lot of content and services, e.g. from their respective cloud platforms wouldn't it be beneficial for everyone else?

Without being able to inspect how the other side sees your network means any sort of troubleshooting is guess work at best.
