You gotta look at it from a corporate perspective though: pay a lil extra to sell some extra products in a country with 1.3 billion people or don't sell anything to them? The target market population is probably close to the TOTAL population of the US (300 millionish). That is a HUGE amount of money to be made, even if they lose some of it from tariffs they still make a good amount of profit.
