Exactly, USDT isn't a safe haven for avoiding government restrictions since it's a centralised project supporting real USD, the only thing is do better is volatility I won't advice anyone to store their USD using USDT
Theoretically, you can use it to avoid Government restrictions. With the way these huge crackdowns on Russian banks, cards etc affected them, I expect them to find safety in USDT or other Stablecoins as a way to avoid having their funds frozen or seized. That is, unless or until USDT decides to have a crackdown themselves on Russian owners of their Stablecoin which I would not be surprised to happen. The only true way of safely avoiding restrictions, which works both in theory and in practice, that I currently see is investing in Bitcoin and other truly decentralized Cryptocurrencies.
