Typically not one for conspiracy, but I wonder if to some degree these kinds of things are intended to get US customers to buy US products and/or get companies to move their offshore facilities to the US. Kaspersky being hand-in-hand with Russia and <insert vendor here> with China and things like it seem pretty run of the mill in recent years.
I imagine it is nestled in some degree of truth, grant you, but I wonder if the goal is to force sentiment so heavily that vendors are essentially forced to go stateside. As in, did China suddenly want to exert state control over manufacturing done in China? Russia suddenly want data from Kaspersky?
