You might be wrong about that.

They probably can cut a whole buncha stuff just about wherever they want.

I don't think you can get very far with that one.

I could be wrong. It's happened.

Well, they admitted in writing that it was a mistake and offered (little) compensation. They then (claim) to have hired an arborist who stated that the tree (stump still remaining) is 100% not on my property, which is false and easily verified. Further, the tree was not interfering with either their existing facilities, encroaching upon, in danger of falling, etc. It also was not in the way of the new pole. The issue that muddies the water on it is it was half on my property and I didn't plant it. But it added value to my landscape, which of course is hard to prove. You may be right however. There is only one way to find out...

Most utilities have the right to trim trees that could interfere with their lines ( and the power to your neighbors).

It just sounds like a big headache with low chance of success.
