This seems silly. We don't get mad at the military if the manufacturer selling 9mm handguns to the DOD also sells to local police and store security guards. We would get mad if weapons manufacturers sold Abrams tanks and ICMBs to local police and store security, but we still wouldn't blame the military for that. We'd blame the sellers for selling it, the users for using it, and the law for not stopping it.
If we don't want Amazon or whoever to use intelligence capabilities originally designed for military use to bust unions, then legislatures need to ban the sale and use of these technologies to and by private actors. It isn't the responsibility of the military to do that.
