That's right. Apple and Android firmware is already written by US companies complying with US laws and US court orders. They will do everything court orders so there is no need for an additional law.

And, by coincidence, companies that sell equipment with non-US firmware, are not very welcome in the country.

This maybe the case for military equipment. In terms of infrastructure, I think currently its just Huawei equipment that is banned. An other countries are considering that ban too. But we use plenty of equipment from South Korea, Taiwan, EU. I bet the BIOS of most PCs are developed overseas.
