This is very limited and will not prevent indirect sales (like we now see happening with Russian oil for example).

It is also why I said "indirectly".

Yeah it could be broader for sure, would prefer it to be an allowlist rather than a blocklist, but the presence of a workaround doesn't make banning something pointless, and as the SC pointed out in their decision, a law does not need to solve all problems in one fell swoop in order for it to be valid.
