Why would it matter if they are democracies or not?
Why would it matter if they "do intel business" with the US, EU, UK, etc. ?

Because that's what the source said they are.
Pakistan?
Let me think - could it be the one country with a complicated situation where most of the security-services apparatus is nominally allied but actually supporting forces opposed to the US (talibans etc), with a sclerotic political system defaulting to military dictatorship every other decade; or the long-standing allied democracies (plural) with a well-documented history of structural cooperation in matters of espionage and surveillance, particularly at the IT level...? Which of the two would the US government rather let run surveillance on US citizens? Mmmh, I wonder!
