As far as I can tell, there's a fair bit of difference between "decreed a crime" and "we've backed up a truck to the DC, and physically seized your data, do as we say if want it back"

What is the long- or medium-term difference, to a company like Mastercard? They want to earn profits in India, they have to comply with the Indian government's demands. Case closed.
The amount of leverage you have with data being abroad is approximately the same - you can decree that your financial institutions or businesses are committing a crime when transacting with said company, and that is all.
