Honestly good for them, I don't like the idea of the US being in charge of other countries supply chains.
The US shouldn't be able to threaten NL or JP for its own personal goals.

Japan has pretty solid reasons of their own to be concerned about the security problems presented by an aggressive Chinese regime. I don't think they are being forced.

The US sanctions only apply to transferring US technology. They don't govern outside of that. Other nations have set their own standards, some of them even tougher.

The pressure to decouple from China is felt worldwide and not just in the US. It being driven by how China is operating in the world under it's current leadership.

Japan was forced, it was widely reported that US had to arm-twist Netherlands AND Japan to get them to be aligned on sanctions. Japanese officials say their rules are not "presumption of denial" like US rules, and instead, so long as there is no identifiable military or defense end-use, it gets exported according to an Nikkei article.

So Japan's still exporting billions to the China, not everyone wants to burn their access to the world's largest semiconductor industry over some vague and incoherent "national security concern" that has no clear objectives.
