This is more about sovereignty than GDP

Higher GDP allows an economic region to make more demands surrounding their sovereignty.

Any country is free to make laws around their own sovereignty. Size and power has nothing to do with it.

Russia is still a large, connected, and tech savvy country regardless of average income in USD.

None is disputing that every country can pass whatever laws now having companies care about operating in a given country is very influenced by the GDP and the local laws.
