It’s more likely the have government clients that require the clearance.
Government agencies and other organisations handling highly sensitive data and requiring high levels of security and associated compliance are inherently big spenders in the cybersecurity space, so by employing technical staff without clearance, any company offering your time and expertise as a service cuts out a significant percentage of the potential market for said services.
In light of this, if you don't think you are likely to get security clearance and still want to do SOC work, you would be better off finding large organisations that run their own SOC or perhaps smaller cybersecurity companies targeting the small to medium end of town rather than large government and financial orgs, but these will obviously have their limitations.
