It's more like just because you can make a funny domain name out of a specific top level domain like .af Make sure some country doesn't have dibs on it first.

Like it wouldn't be smart to start a business selling che Guevara merch at comra.de.

Why would Germany of all places ban a shop selling Che Guevara merch?

I think the point is politics in a nation can change at any time, and as such you may lose the domain/no longer feel safe supporting that nation. Just because they wouldn't now doesn't mean they wouldn't in the future. (Especially with how well AfD is polling and how much CDU/CSU seem to be starting to cooperate)

How are non-ccTLDs, like .com any safer? A fascist like Trump could decide to nationalize managing them at any time
