Its the Chilling Effect. Fear of breaking a law (even if that law ends up not being applicable to you) is enough to scare people into complying with it. I've seen companies worry about GDPR that have no presence in the EU. Yes, the EU could still fine them, but they wouldn't have to actually pay or even acknowledge it.

I wonder how many countries’ laws every Linux distribution violates by existing (e.g. North Korea, Turkmenistan) but these bozos at Arch Linux 32 don’t proactively block.
