IDK about the details underlying the argument (whether the contract is actually structured this way, etc.), but https://mobile.twitter.com/nierobmitak/status/15747490369129... mentioned the possibility that the contracts entail fines for non-delivery (which they might not have to pay if the pipeline is unusable).

Isn't that also why billionaires close to Russia have been "dying"? Their assets would be property of the state ergo Putin's coffers.

Their assets would be property of their inheritors, just as everywhere else.
