This is actually an increasing concern, that large multinational companies are so powerful that they don't have to obey governments any more, and can instead blackmail them by withdrawing products. Pornhub has done this in US states. Meta has threatened to do it in various countries. There has always been pushback to regulation from powerful companies, but punishing countries by withdrawing products seems to be used as a tactic more often recently. There are other tools of power companies use as well, like deciding where to create jobs and build facilities. Musk has used that, moving from California to Texas. Defence and oil companies use these tactics also.
