What a government enforced model ban does to someone :)

Rest assured my comment was in good humour too :)

Or abstract i.e. openrouter, that reduces the risk vector to "all implementations have been simultaneously banned".

If a government entity bans a LLM provider due to a jailbreak concern, they can also ban an on-prem solution under the same guise. The jailbreak risk exists regardless of where it's hosted. You could defensibly argue the on-prem risk is higher since frontier model companies can justify safety spend due to their size, it's more difficult to combat bad actors if you're company is the only one using the model and you don't have economies of scale.

Horrific color contrast juxtaposed next to being banned due to national security threat.

Reasoning? More customers = more revenue, there's negative financial incentive behind restricting TAM. In the same way the iPhone isn't restricted to only the wealthy, that would significantly reduce total goods sold and thereby revenue. In addition that creates lower economies of scale, lower network effects etc.

As the docs mention, the effect is only material when there's a non-trivial number of union elements. For unions containing only a handful of elements the effect is inconsequential.

Assuming the rationale behind this is privacy, you could always choose questions that don't divuldge sensitive information while still allowing the user to identify themselves e.g. a user might not want to share their street name but presumably would not care about sharing the name of their first stuffed toy.
