It seems that the standard behind that was first published in 1998 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEED http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEED) whereas crypto export restrictions were lifted only 2000.
Before the export restrictions, browsers outside the US were restricted to 40-bit RC4 (which could be hacked in a matter of days) instead of 128-bit version that was available within the US. So I think it is fair to say that it was not just some busybody wanting everyone to use his/her crypto standard.
