Biden’s Executive Order 14071, forbids Russians from working with or using GPL’d software made in the USA. And that includes the Linux Kernel.

You are clearly missing the point of the statement.
If I, a developer, stepped away from a project because I wanted to protect myself: the bridge could be mended from my side regardless of if I was willing to do so (…why hello secret police!) The termination of the bridge from the opposite side means I have lost my strategic value.
As I implied: putting personal feelings aside here- this was a net positive for those in Russia presently given the political climate.
