The other thing is because it was clear the Chinese had turned against Hololive, or at least enough of them to cause a serious impediment to any future plans they had for growth/expansion, it's not like they were sacrificing a bright future even if their gov didn't crack down. Because Taiwan was a Japanese colony in specific and is still a sore spot for them it's like a double whammy of autism triggered that probably would not go away for years. In fact it still has not gone away as they're just harassing Fubuki and Aqua now instead. They were making death threats against the CN holos before they graduated, imagine if they were still around, who knows what would have happened by now.
