I'd be surprised if anyone was surprised by this. "Third parties" not from Russia's side, but the US hiding it's sales.

It's a mouser dot com problem

Russian Missile Builder: "Dangit, why doesn't Amazon Prime let me get free shipping?!? It only gives an option for 'third party' ordering/shipping or delivery to an Amazon Locker in Eastern Estonia?"

Seriously , a mystery? 😂

It remains a mystery how these third parties are able to cipher through Texas Instruments store,

Fairly useless to even attempt to enforce such a thing in the long run - there will always be a way. For example, China is known to harvest components from broken devices and repurpose them, Russia could simply harvest components from scrap in bulk, which avoids them having to deal with purchasing new from companies that are restricted from selling directly.

Sanctions notworking as expected.

Can't do miracles when there are effectively infinite possible paths to Putin. It was always only a matter of time until alternate supply networks to bypass sanctions got established.

Why all this focus on APIs when the necessary information can be spider/scraped or even just redirected from an iframe? Trivial amount of work for a company looking to bypass sanctions to continue profitable operations.

please blame where blame is due and look closer before you point.

Nah, lets both not bother with it and just place the blame where it really belongs!
