You are right on that.

I hope that in the end this does end up all working out and I was just one of the crazy guys worried for no reason.

But either way I still think it is disappointing they did this so quickly and that they're using a US push in law be such a deciding factor in originally pushing for it. It felt like that was the same way when they banned Russian maintainers. The USA and especially specific states shouldn't have this much pull especially over open source community driven projects in my opinion.
