Lunduke's interpretation that this may simply be Meta wanting to shift the responsibility to other companies makes sense. Unlike Apple and Google, Meta doesn't develop an OS, nor does it have an app store, so their lobbyists pushing for a law that's purely concerned with OS and app store stuff makes perfect sense for Meta: It ensures they have to do *nothing* in response to this law. That's basically the best case scenario for a company in terms of the result of their lobbying efforts. The new law makes literally no difference to them.
In the second half of the video, he points out that some larger tech industry coalitions, including Google, also started supporting such laws, but mainly through some organization about "social progress" and I see no plausible theory about there being anything nefarious behind this like wanting to be able to do more effective data harvesting.
One also has to ask why these companies would care at all if this is about some nefarious government plot to implement surveillance. I just don't see the panicked arguments in opposition to this law culminating into any kind of coherent theory about some nefarious intent on behalf of any party involved, government or corpo.
What I see happening is a bipartisan push for restricting children's access to various online content, because it's been running rampant for ages and more and more people are constantly talking about it (see also: social media bans for children) and so the companies are sending in their lobbyists to ensure that whatever laws get passed don't bother them too much.
