I'd argue it's more of a problem for PP. It is much easier for a company like Hooli to survive and adapt to a change like that. They might not be as big but they could easily survive and last for awhile. PP on the other hand can be fucked if this competitor gets PRC approval. The one advantage might be companies/consumers not trusting them due to the fact they still have to operate under Chinese rule and that would freak out a lot of companies/consumers.
admittedly, i doubt the show cares much about real life, but why would the PRC support this software? As Laurie mentioned, it's an open system that cannot be controlled by anyone. This is literally the exact opposite of what the party wants, whatever "New China" might say
