Huh? Presumably if it shipped without guardrails, then it would still have triggered an export control, would you make a plain shirt on the front which says this shirt is a munition on the back?

The munition is the exported good, not the bypass of its safety feature. If anything that the bypass is 3 words long should make the export restriction more justified, not less.
