Next step is to criminalize FOSS more broadly for unfair competition against corporate software.. Amazing.

that's kind of the logical endpoint of the argument they're making there

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.
