Just because the rest of the world has lawless areas doesn't mean we don't pass laws. If you do something that risks our national safety, or various other things, we can extradite and try you in court.
They're not suggesting the banning of anything, they're requiring you make it be safe and prove how you did that. That's not unreasonable.

Right, but in some areas of AI regulation, the existence of other countries might undermine unilateral regulation.
For example, imagine LLMs improve to the point where they can double programmer productivity while lowering bug counts. If Country A decides to Protect Tech Jobs by banning such LLMs, but Country B doesn't - could be all the tech jobs will move to Country B, where programmers are twice as productive.
Just make Country B illegal.
