I agree with you. Politics should not be here, but it should not be in the parts supply chain either.
If there are companies who bring politics in to their business it should be a fair game to point it out.
I am not in favor of some Chinese style social credit system.

I requested DK to reveal what personal information they collected about me. Will see ...

However, I really want to joke about some of this, like solution:

A SOLUTION:
Due to PATRIOT ACT that person had an issue, so solution, include a video of you ordering included as an attachment to the order? or maybe a pic of your room?
or whatever... :-DD

Now for Dave, that's a really creepy guy! So you must mail your hour-long video with a copy of every online video you ever made to :

Yes, but this has nothing to do with any "social credit system".
Digikey don't know nor care who you are are. You've just caught up in a supply chain availability issue like a bunch of people have reported in recent times.
We've even talked about it on the Amp Hour podcast this year how people have had their Digikey order magically cancelled or whatever.
If you are unhappy wiht Digikey just dump them and go to Mouser or Element14 or whoever.

Oh FFS, just delete your account and never buy from them again if it worries you that much.
That's a nothing-burger clause put in there for some niche requirement.
