The problem is enforcing the ban. Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files? It would be trivial to host a site in a country without legal protections and make the software available from anywhere.
No reason not to ban them entirely.

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I’d be fine with that. I have yet to see a benefit or possible benefit that outweighs the costs.
