I wonder how much it costs to have the government declare your model to be too good to be allowed.

NIST is in effect a branch of the NSA, although not literally, only in effect. If the NSA says jump, it'll ask how high. If the NSA say "ban this model because our adversaries will use it to patch their systems", NIST will say yes sir. I guess we'll all be transitioning to open models soon enough.
