to summarize:
in the past, the US forced everyone to comply with US tech because the US was economically too powerful to deny requests to, but now that is changing because US economy is not so important internationally anymore, due to tariffs but also because US consumers are becoming poorer and therefore less important as a consumer market, so it's easier to ignore the US and their requests.
