While this is true don't forget that this also applies to the last several decades in Cuba too. They're fixing something that they created in the first place.

Isn't one of the obvious factors that different people are making these decisions?

And now I see Stripe getting friendly with Cuba.
I don't have a clear point to make, as I'm writing this while still upset, but I just felt like I had to get my word out there perhaps to get some perspective or perhaps to start a discussion.
