I somewhat agree with you but you just have to try and view things through the twisted logic of government operatives.
If you have a website hosted in the USA even if you are targetting international clients they can claim that you have the site hosted in the USA because you are targetting Americans (even if it’s because it’s cheaper) I have been in court and you have to realize the judge is probably half senile and doesn’t understand anything about the internet and they will side with whatever the government claims. This is why every extra layer of protection that you can get is important.
