I understand what you mean, but those who need to activate their devices or update relevant apps to continue using them are still free to use VPN to avoid any potential blocks by Ledger. The same applies to those who wish to send transactions to sanctioned addresses, all they need to do is choose the right VPN server. A jumpscare is not the real threat. 
You have a serious problem if you think that using VPN is going to help you with ledger compliance and other crap 
I have resolved my problems with ledger more than two years ago by destroying my Ledger device

My assumption is they did it just to cover their ass from the possible sanctions.
We are both assuming. No direct evidences.
