It effects entire countries. With the power of the app store ZTE was crushed overnight if you can't ship the app store you can't sell your phones. The level of leverage is pretty breathtaking.

ZTE was crushed because they were banned from essential parts for electronics (think Qualcom SOCs etc...)

Companies in China do fine without the Google App Store.
