Too often the organisation behind projects is in the US, so is restricted to only what is legal in the US.
I suspect that’s the case here. IIRC, the Freedesktop servers are hosted in the US, so are also affected by what’s legal there too.
And in this case, they were shipping a userspace for their sandboxes, which is a dependency for many others. If it contains code that cannot be distributed in the US, then anyone in the US will have to pick an alternative.

There are still a few technical difference between the old cluster and the new ones, and they are summarized in this issue. Please pay attention to the TL:DR at the end of the comment.
