You either misunderstood the article you've linked or you're misrepresenting it.
The Lego set was taken by investigators as a potentially related article to what its owner was arrested for and charged with - several counts of breaking into the Capitol and organising the riot. No one finds these Capitol Lego sets suspicious on the whole. That one particular set was connected to a criminal case.
If society believed that Lego Capitol sets incite Capitol riots or, more broadly, that architectural Lego sets overall lead to some increase in terrorism associated with landmarks, then it would be similar to how some people think of video games - that if they are thematically similar to dreadful real world events, they are somehow related. And it would be paranoid. As it is with games.
