Is this how it's going to work for every new model release - the executive branch inserting itself into decisions made by private companies?

As a non-American who grew up in a deeply corrupt country, this sets off every alarm bell.

It's also why I'm buying my own hardware and running open weight models. There's a few forms of freedom in doing so.
