Way too many businesses rely on VPNs to ban them.

Oh you sweet child. They only need to ban them for citizens, not for business / shareholders.

Well….how does China and Russia and other authoritarian shitholes that have banned them operate?

I don't know about China, but Russia has not banned VPNs. They banned specific VPN services. I'm guessing it's similar in China. And there are plenty of grey and black market VPN services for people in those countries to use. And they use them.
