You do realize that violating export regulations is a much bigger risk than losing a few individuals relying on snake oil security?

Wouldn’t it require making a purchase and providing a shipping address? How would a VPN get in the middle of checking the physical address?
Digikey and Mouser do not do this.

Please don't.
VPNs for desktop users have very few security use cases since most traffic ended up being https, but they're very useful for evading geoblocks.
Can you explain what is the connection between closing the site to VPN users and violating export regulations?
I'd assume the point is that they think that the possibility of serving the website to an individual physically within a prohibited country constitutes unacceptable liability.
