The trick is that Apple is essentially a utility company and replacing it is a significant expense to the user.
And it needs to be aware of it's power and act accordingly. Maybe a "device neutrality" law should be in order.

The Belarusian government would presumably just pass a non-neutrality law, and then we're in the same place as before where Apple has to decide based on moral and practical considerations.
