Am I correctly interpreting the clause as saying that pretty much only Americans are eligible? I'm confused because if that is the intent then the clause is really burying the lede when it starts out by excluding "users in certain countries".

No. That doesn’t exclude other countries - it means you are not illegally living in the US (“non-resident alien”). They are just complying with US sanctions/international law.

So what if you're temporarily in the US on a tourist (B1/B2) visa? Or on NAFTA status? Or as a non-resident using H1-B (which is dual intent)?

Non-resident alien doesn't mean illegal immigrant at all. As the name implies, it means you're a non-citizen who is also not residing in the US.
