There are queues for H100 and everybody wants to buy them. How should they solve the allocation problem? They can also pull out of the market and sell elsewhere comfortably without any crazy bureaucrats harassing them because some French company/branch lost a bid and overestimated its importance to nVidia.

In the end, everyone should get an equal haircut, and nobody shoupd be able to jump the line. Classic issue in anti-trust. Source: Had some intense months discussing exactly such kind of situation. Hence I know it is absolutely solveable, but there are always people who just cannot accept to follow rules and accept constraints, which usually leads to some penalties down the line.
