What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?

Every company. Everything. Including Signal.

Can you elaborate on signal? They have a open source codebase without any back door?!

Yes you're correct. Signal would have to be forced to make a back door for the UK gov under this proposal. This is why they, with several others, are threatening to stop providing services in the UK should this pass.
