Although true, philosophically speaking the governments of the world take on powers that exceed what is reasonable.
The US, for example, will happily assert its ability to intercede when Iran and China trade. It isn't at all obvious why that should be the case, and it is profoundly unclear why China and Iran should cooperate. It is plausible that countries should be trading using a decentralised system like a bitcoin-style cryptocurrency. US law really should stop at the US border.
