Many US workers are not citizens. Your solution would mean losing both their job and home if they were stopped on their way back into the US.

A better solution is to not allow people to travel with anything that would be catastrophic if lost. My former employer would give employees loaner devices for travel to certain countries.

I think part of the point is that employers also can't lose all employees, so they are encouraged to fight back with their economic blight, in part by lobbying.
