Also, if you're buying something illegal or through illicit means, you're nowhere near as likely to leave a paper or electronic trail for investigations, if you care about such things. It is, after all, illicit and therefore already has a lot of the covert infrastructure in place.

I noticed that the article says that people are puzzled, as there is no market. There is no market in technologically leading countries. However, there are plenty of older equipment which still requires the banned materials not to mention that those compounds are more efficient than most currently available replacements. Given how desperate some other countries are to get an advantage (or just keep up), I'm hardly surprised.
