They could have got it from US/Saudis/irq/qatar nobody was stopping them?

It would have been little expensive...

Saudis/IRQ/Qatar are not exactly anti-Russia countries. If anything, they all cooperate to maintain a certain margin. Not only It would've been more expensive, the moral repercussions would've basically stayed the same.

Not exactly, if that was the case europe wouldn't have anywhere to buy oil from while being morally right. So buy oil from those countries for a little more money, don't fund the russians.

Europe does not have anywhere to buy oil from while staying morally right, except maybe from Norway. Most of the oil rich countries are either dictatorships or monarchies.

Also, a little more money has upended entire elections because of inflation. A lot of voters care little beyond their livelihoods.
