Thanks @hypolite for linking me to a better article on what's going on. The one I linked to got it backwards and made it sound like the embassy was making demands on random orgs to comply before they order from US suppliers.
What's really going on is that embassies are making demands on the suppliers they normally sign contracts with, which makes a lot more sense logically, even if you disagree with their requirements.
Analysis to follow.
