That hardly seems relevant? Literally all TLDs are ultimately under US jurisdiction, given that the ICANN is under US jurisdiction.

US government built it, a US company runs it, and US law applies to it.

It’s silly to complain that US companies and US-focused sites shouldn’t use it.

All also true of .ie and .fr and .eu and whatever other TLDs you might want to choose.
