Good luck cutting off Oregon from hardware available in the rest of the state. Cutting off one state poses the same issue as gun legislation or sugar tax in a specific city, people just go to the next state over. And you very likely can’t just say “well sorry, that wasn’t sold in Oregon so that law doesn’t apply.”

They’d need to kill off the entire US market.

They just need to provide zero customer support, no updates to IP addresses in Oregon, etc. No need to prevent people from using devices they own, just stop transacting.
