Pretty sure it's not xenophobic to look at "Headquarters Moscow, Russia" and wonder if there's any possibility that Putin could enforce something upon the company.

It's not like Russia doesn't do it to us.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) separately accused the US National Security Agency and company Apple of being behind the attack

It's fair to hurt Russia's GDP by choosing not to use Kaspersky [in light of people's opposition to the war with Ukraine]. That doesn't mean "xenophobic".

Edit: Added bracketed clarification
