This works great inside a country where said software must be written in the country for compliance reasons...

How does is work for a fungible product that can be written anywhere and shipped at the speed of light?

It doesn't, but at some point a mature industry + society decides to make that tradeoff.

We can't have it both ways: be essential digital infrastructure, AND move at "the speed of light".

The firmware for a diesel engine goes into a diesel engine. The company can be required to get a PE's signify for putting the firmware in. After that, if it's copied elsewhere, that's not their problem.
