The government is bound by the same laws that we also follow.
(You need to learn more about the law.) The laws may govern different entities differently based on their classification, but its still the same law.
What you fail to grasp are the laws governing the 4th, 5th and if memory serves the 14th as well.
In the 70's SCOTUS ruled that there was no expectation of privacy because the metadata is owned by the phone company and its used for multiple purposes. (e.g. your itemized usage bills)
The Carpenter ruling is an interesting case. Roberts apparently got it wrong. (Again)
There is no expectation of privacy for the same reasons. But at the same time... there could be a certain amount of reasonableness as to how much data could be provided without a warrant.
The issue isn't as clear cut as one would think. And your simplification is just plain wrong.
Sorry.
