Are you willing to intentionally break your software (which is currently working) for an entire country?

If you want to put a stop to things like this, then you have to. Complaints from companies and the general population should be enough to fix the issue.

Mere collateral damage.
Is it better to be complicit with an authoritarian regime that is actively spying on their people, in order to have a marginally larger user base? I don't think so.
In fact, you're making it worse because you're giving legitimacy to a government that is conducting actions which we shouldn't consider acceptable. If the US government started doing the same thing, I would really hope that browsers would block those certificates too.
