Are they being subsidized the same way my employer subsidizes my lifestyle?
If I sell steel, grain, boots, or launch services to the government and that gives me profits that I invest into some aspect of my business, I’m not sure that “subsidized by” is the clearest term.
They are indeed private companies, being subsidised by space agencies.

I'm not sure it is an open market that anyone could join. The US government seems to favour domestic supply. Therefore I believe it is a subsidy, yes
