I agree that it would be a political statement (if the statement gets made), but I also think there's a meaningful difference between "We are making this choice because we believe it to be the right choice" and "We are making this choice because of market pressures."

When, say, GitHub decides to have their place of business in the US and to subject themselves to US embargoes and therefore bans users in Iran, that's certainly a political statement. But if they say "We were forced to ban users in Iran, because we've decided it's net good for business to be subject to US law and the US does not like Iran," people interpret that as a pretty different political statement from GitHub spontaneously banning users in Iran because they themselves don't like Iran.
