This is the thing: the corporate nuke as a tool is available in most jurisdictions -- how could it not be? -- but at place like Norway I can very well see it being used.

There was talk California should've used it on Uber for Greyball.

“Corporate nuke” is a corporate lobbyist’s term for distracting from massive fines. Barring expropriation, once you ask what happens to the nuked assets, corporate death penalties all come down to massive fines with extra steps. If you want to “nuke” a corporation, revoke its licenses (not applicable here) or levy a massive fine.
