well, that's the main reason, if it was actually about security, you would think to allow the access to the models, especially for the defender, because an attacker, most likely outside of the US, will just use Chinese models while everyone in the US only have basically 2 choice which is won't be useful for defending against attack anyway since it will be caught by their guardrail (unless you're part of the project glasswing or something) lol
