It's 100% because Anthropic stood up to magats. They want to ruin their IPO because nazi AI is behind and nobody is using it. Despite Fable being a disappointment it's still best in class for certain tasks.
This is really bad for the US though. It's the first time a digital product has been blocked from leaving physical borders. US entire economic purpose is to incorporate global products - without that US has no economic leverage other than military/intelligence.
There were numbers that it was illegal to export from the US. A perl one-liner was classified as a munition.
Apart from the times that the US applied export controls to encryption software.
Yeah, that was a decade+ long running cluster of epic proportions... There had to be ulterior motive, like gaining insight into the products in the market or something. Also, the language of the encryption blockade did encourage a lot of products to just use insecure encryption instead of cranking up the "bits" of security to impossible to crack and tangling with the export controls people.
It's not like the blockade stopped a single copy of anything from moving out of the country, but it did shape the mass marketplace to be less secure.
All chatbots are Nazis even if they don't come out and say "I'm mechahitler". They exist to narrow and lossy-compress the scope of accepted information to the express purpose of excluding heterodox ideas and history.
