The US federal government is no longer a good faith actor acting on behalf of American citizens and following US law, but now an autonomous corporation aiming to “get the best deal” via maximum leverage.
Dario Amodei used almost every single public interview he gave to press on the "Protect America, it's a matter of national security. Ban Chinese exports, etc".

I can think of at least one possibility - confidentiality failure. If the customer data was not contained - especially if it was DoD data - that would be reason to do such a thing.
