This is hard topic to discuss knowing those companies don't have token yet because there's legal concern.
There's not even guarantee that they will create token at some point, metamask was rumoured to have token but since it's based on the US i don't have high expectation since I'm sure they are trying to avoid their token being considered as security by SEC.
