Believe me, if the government wants to stop you from having access to something like that, they could do it. Just give people some incentive to report you and make really harsh punishments and everyone will be thinking really hard about how bad they want have access.

Well, sure. The same could be said of any freedom they want to take away. The responsibility is on us to preserve those freedoms. Free software, open hardware, right to repair, privacy tools, etc. will all be the weapons of the people in the fight against totalitarianism.
They can stop piracy or child predators. what makes you think they can prevent access to running models that require no internet access to run
the government is not God, they cant do much beyond declaring anything bad.

It is on people to realize we have the ultimate power and oppose the overreach of government in all ways we can to keep our freedoms.

Freedom is not free, after all
