Yes, but I don't really understand how the UK can expect to enforce this law against non-UK entities that don't have any employees or physical presence in the UK.

HN/YC could just tell them to go pound sand, no? (Assuming YC doesn't have any operations in the UK; I have no idea.)

they could impound you while on a layover in UK (not that you'd ever want to do that)

They could open an international arrest warrant. So you can't travel at all.
