I don't know how this would be true. If anything operating from a country makes you subject to their law.
I've wrote plenty of software while travelling. But I operate it from my homebase. That's a huge difference

If anything operating from a country makes you subject to their law. We're saying the same thing. If you create something, and the thing you created is in country X, you made the thing in country X. It doesn't matter if you're in country Y at the time. If I'm sitting in the United States, and I make something entirely on Japanese AWS servers, I built it in Japan. I wasn't in Japan, but the place it was built is Japan. "I built it in X" doesn't mean "I was in X and I built it." "I built it in X" means "I built it, and the place it is is X." We have trouble because it's only recently that these two concepts are meaningfully separable. I'll phrase myself differently. If a thing has been made, and its location is in Country X, then it is subject to the laws of Country X. I accept that I wrote this poorly and that it's subject to misunderstanding that is my fault.
