SpaceX bought a retired oil platform at one point to try and use as a launch point. It didnt work, but if you told them they couldn’t launch from land they’d probably figure a way out.
Doesn’t matter, authorities in the jurisdiction where they are based and also where there clients are can just fine them into oblivion. This government won’t but they could, if they wanted to. That’s the whole point of the law, regulators “just” have to write it down for it to become what everybody must follow, or have terrible consequences. They don’t have to be physically blocked. It’s not a technical problem.

That’s a bigger thing than just closing the spaceports to private companies as OP was suggesting.
That would likely be politically more difficult to pull off than closing existing ports.
