Actually it was clear that your post was not accusational, but rather a genuine question. I didn't mean to respond with a bad tone... sorry about that. If MathWorks didn't want to sell something to me (because they don't like the looks of roots of me), I wouldn't buy it even if my life depended on it (an ego thing) – the problem here is that MathWorks, Google, Apple, Amazon and other companies want to sell to me (it's their job, and I don't think they are any more racist than the average American!), but their it's government that prevents them. This is where you and I differ slightly: I support MathWork's IP, but at the same time I know that they can't sell to me only because of US sanctions. I copy Matlab (not really - I use Mathematica) and I see no moral dilemma here.
