Actually, are all U.S. citizens living in Malaysia going to be arrested because a portion of the taxes they pay to the U.S. government are buying weapons for Israel? What about U.S. tourists?
Would probably happen if Malaysia ever falls under total rule of PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia) or Jemaah Islamiyah. Still, any actions against US civilians on foreign soil would incur the wrath of Uncle Sam. Different compared to Malaysia arresting its own citizen.

Admittedly, this exercise is kind of like splitting hairs for S&P 500 ETFs, but it's a good exercise to go through in trying to determine how two seemingly similar funds can be a little different.
In the end, it comes down to whether or not you're a frequent trader. If the trading spread differences are greater between two funds, going with the fund with the higher expense ratio may still make more sense than going with the cheaper ETF when trading costs are considered.
If you're a long-term buy-and-hold investor, choosing the ETF with the lower expense ratio probably makes more sense in most cases. If you're a high frequency trader and plan on moving in and out of positions often, the total cost of ownership is something you need to consider.
Turns out the S&P 500 ETF on "Platform K" is not the same as S&P 500 ETF on "Platform S" (SPY vs IVV). Also, the it make sense "Platform K" trades on SPY. Re-balancing/re-optimization occurs frequently and part of the reason is their investment decisions is driven by AI.
