You're talking about the processed stuff which doesn't actually qualify as cheese (like Hershey's doesn't actually make chocolate). There are regional and local cheese makers that make actual cheese (not for export) that starts to approach the quality of cheese in Europe (though the no-raw-milk restriction will always prevent them from getting there).
These regional and local cheeses are actually "food" as opposed to product. The illegal FDA imposition, if they were to stick to it, would kill the real-food cheese makers dead.
That said, I'd shrug and buy the imported stuff anyway.

And on this, does this mean the USA is going to ban the import of about half the cheeses made by traditional cheese mongers in Italy / Greece etc? Since they all mature on wooden boards. I don't think it's going to fly. This is either someone at FDA "flexing their muscles", or an attempt by the likes of Kraft to sieze the market utterly. I vote for the 2nd part tbh.
Nah... Regulators have gone bananas with power under the current administration. FDA, FAA, EPA, IRS. Granted, many of the appointees to these bureaucracies came from the industries they are aimed at. Even so, this is a case of sufficiently advanced incompetence being indistinguishable from malice.
Edit: I'm sure there's a move to ban bananas afoot.

Funny you should mention tap water... In the town I now live in we've had two episodes of fecal bacteria poisoning at this-will-make-you-sick levels in the last year. And this is in the greater Boston area. You'll forgive me if I boil the water first.
I do worry what that's going to mean for my daughter's dental health if we keep her on bottled water (we're using that for formula right now).
