Don't most of these contingencies apply to steel in the first place?

Nope. The entire point here is facing the decision on which of these contingencies will apply.
Why can't steel be recycled or taken by force?
Recycling steel uses by and large the same industrial sites as making new steel. Most new steel has some amount of recycled steel mixed in, the trick is getting the ratios of various types of scrap right
ok but in the bad situation, your steel is at the bottom of the ocean. how are you recycling that?
