They definitely are, but things like Golden Sentry and Blue Lantern (amongst other Dual Use Monitoring regimes) can also still look for these sorts of uses. But yes, there's lots of examples of "Country X can't do Y, so we go to country Z and work with them to do Y" sorts of bypasses. Still increases the amount of work required if they want something NATSEC related to work on.
