It could be something as "simple" as shifting public opinion. And these days, it's a lot - because it's not just Indian public opinion and Chinese public opinion, it has global reach. It also undermines China enterprises, when a big part of tech business models is economies of scale, such actions basically cut massive slices of the global market. Even if all of this is a nudge, it's still a nudge in a certain direction. Because the reality is that India is struggling dealing with China, and all the help they can get in the direction of slowing down China is good for them. You see news about the conflicts in the Himalayas for small "patches of land", but a lot of the advents in the Indian Ocean are going unnoticed - China is literally expanding their territory aggressively and India doesn't have enough navy resources to stop it.
