Any actual evidence that the US government has control over ICANN? I know they used to have an agreement that gave the US some oversight, but as far as I know that ended a decade ago.

ICANN exists in the US, therefore the US government has control over it.
It's pretty difficult for the US government to tell a nonprofit what to do.
It's actually extremely easy. They send a couple big guys with uniforms and badges and guns to your house, and they say, do this or else.
Why did you think Let's Encrypt suddenly blocked Iran? It isn't because their board members have the same ideological alignment.
