This suggests a compromise of Hetzner and Linode network management.

No it doesn't. It suggests that they both complied with a request from law enforcement.
So… compromised.
Compromised means they got hacked, which would translate to all servers in Linode and Hetzner being unsafe for all customers.
Since this affected only one client and it's more likely than not a lawful intercept, it's not a compromise.

More likely the carrier upstream of them.
No, that wouldn't insert a hop between the server and the provider's network.
