If you had a manufacturing plant bringing $10M, the government takes over your plant, so now they get $10M. If you had a bank bringing $10M, the government takes over your bank, so now they get $10M. If you had a property-holding company bringing $10M, the government takes over your company and your properties, so now they get $10M.
But if you had a software company bringing $10M, and the government takes over your software company and puts everyone in jail, they now get nothing.
Moreover, where they had, say, $100k in taxes previously, they have $0 in taxes now.

Everyone in Belarus is "very careful to stay entirely out of politics". Still banks and plants get appropriated. Software companies do not.
