The big tech companies have all built out lobbying capabilities; such a law would end up helping big tech and harming small companies because the big companies would be involved in authoring the law and would be contributing to the sponsors and committee chairs and members to get their favorable language included. And it would all be legal and business as usual.

They don't have to be laws. It's something that Biden can just add into every RFP the US government puts otu.

But no, typically things like that don't hurt small companies.
