It might. That the EU and the State of New York brought charges under ridiculous laws indicates that popular sentiment is consequential. In the absence of democracy, however, such injustices are also known from history. The causes were religious in the past. Today, they are economic. Sometimes it is hard to tell the two apart, as when King Richard of England declined an annual gift from the Jews ahead of canceling his debts and then expelling Jews from England though announcing his displeasure when in the mean time Jews were hanged by mobs.
Andrew Cuomo should consider himself lucky that Intel's chips continue to function in his offices. In some science fiction scenario, persecuting Intel would trigger the failure of the devices.
