It's not either of those. Anthropic put a lot of effort into getting FedRAMP approved so the DOD could use them; they are now being punished for that, and the government at present has no other good options. Other options could of course be developed, but other vendors may question how unreliable and untrustworthy the current DOD leadership is as as customer.

Seems like Microsoft/OpenAI [0] and Google [1] both have FedRAMP approval.

There is no such thing. That's a fantasy term used by deluded people to signal a particular virtue.
