Well in this case it's not a big problem, as stated in the article Symantec didn't do much business in Russia.

However lets extrapolate and say what if the same thing were applied to Apple or Microsoft, who sell a very large amount of software to countries like China.

Should they forbid China access to their source code due to concerns from US customers.....

Would their shareholders be happy if they did? China is a large market, loss of access to that would be bad for a companies finacial health.
