In a word....PR!
EVERY COMPANY IN THE WEST RIGHT NOW....
"We don't want to be seen associating our brand with "baby murderers" and psychopaths, that's kind of a tough demographic to make sales figures from according to the marketing dept. So rather than deal with bad PR for the next 12 months we'll just make small effort to cut the supply lines while this all blows over. Rest assured to our shareholders, once those sales opportunities open up again we'll be in there again like a shot ready to make us all a ton of cash again from recovering economies who can barely afford our products without big, big loans...which we will happily finance to you!"
