It's less the logical end point and more the desired end goal to which they've been actively working towards for decades rationalizing each step as a necessary compromise.

I meant logically in a sense of following the thought process behind banning companies using RISC-V to its ultimate conclusion. I agree that there's nothing rational about any of this.
