I'm having trouble finding citations on the specific law, but this website states that the US has capped satellite imagery for civilian use at 0.31 m

"Satellite" images on maps are often not from satellites but rather planes or drones.

I guess with this technique you could do ML image synthesis guided by SAR satellites - that way you could sort-of look through clouds from space, as long as you don't mind the image being largely fictional.

Some companies are working on 10 centimeters.
