It is not a stupid distraction per se.

Any model produced by any North American or European companies, even X, may be trained in a way that would be politically correct to the taste of the company, some are left leaning and some are right leaning, but the topics being censored by the model will still be far lesser than the model being created by a Chinese/Russian companies. This is because for the companies to survive in a totalitarian government, the company must bent and satisfy all the filtering request by the government.
