You might get stuck in one or more foreign governments honey that you were not previously going to be stuck in.

A foreign government doesn't have the political authority or practical means to send armed thugs to kick in my door over petty dragnet crap.

Some jerk in a cube farm in Maryland does.

Who says they won’t be happy to trade it for something else with someone who does have those?

Sure, but that's orders of magnitude more effort, oversight, manpower and political risk involved than your typical "find a thousand people who have a paper trail saying they did X, pick the five hundred of those who you have an airtight case against, pick the hundred of those who juries will find least sympathetic, pick the 50 of those least likely to shoot back" type" operation that the fedcop enforcement agencies run fairly unilaterally every single day.
