I fully agree with the sentiment, but do you think that would have done anything?
The barriers to entry are just very low, and the off-the-shelf components are heavily dual-use, which makes containment extremely difficult. I think even minor powers would have an extremely easy time doing the development anyway, either in secret (China) or by just eating the sanctions (Russia, Iran).
