At some point it becomes willful ignorance of history.
I remember a time not very long ago when everyday crypto like 128-bit SSL was restricted under US export law. The old web browsers came in separate, "exportable" versions. [1]
Phil Zimmermann was in big trouble for releasing PGP. That was the mid-90s. Clinton was President so this stuff transcends politics.

Yes, because US CIA and NSA was hacking half of the World. You can learn about this in Cybersecurity books.
This is different situation. Cybersecurity specialists (at least those I found and read) don't consider Mythos as something really powerful. Good tool but not groundbreaking.
Anthropic was playing terror game and burned by it

Good, so it might not be over, considering everyone around the world can use PGP and browsers?
I read your frustration. Try to let go of the fact that there are many smart people who aren't experts in legal affairs. Cite eCFR if they're wrong, and move on. As much as they don't know the rules, you don't know their situation.
