This reminds me of back in the day when the US became very worried that the 'level of sophisticated computing power' in the then-recently released PlayStation 2 could be used by Iran or North Korea to power nuclear missile guidance systems, if Linux could be installed on the box. What was especially weird was that Sony then went ahead and released Linux for the PS2 anyway which made no commercial sense anyway!
At the time there were particularly tight restrictions on distribution of PS2, beyond the usual export embargo of any tech to these countries.
