> Where iPhone / Android app stores are concerned, I can understand a bit with not launching an app in a country until it's really ready to go, otherwise you just attract negative reviews.

As a side note, as the stores are purely virtual, it becomes very easy to use a store outside of the country you live in. For instance I kept using the same store after moving country, or I know people using the US stores for various reasons while staying outside of the US.

I am actually wondering how niche of case this could be, but this makes weird cases where you're bound to switch back and forth between multiple stores just to get a single app that didn't want to get published in all the countries.

In particular bank apps do that a lot, when they're already checking for account numbers etc. so they could as well publish in every country and still only allow their members to use the app.

I don’t expect them to localize for my language (the country is mostly not relevant to l10n). By all means, English only. Perfectly understandable if an advanced feature that depends on a language (Siri) is not available (this one actually is). Or if it truly is country-specific (Siri’s restaurant reservations, traffic, public transport, ...), again, understandable.

But why is Data Studio not available worldwide in English? Makes no sense.

Or why is freakin Wikipedia search geo-blocked in iOS and macOS and you only get Wikipedia results or suggestions in Safari in select few countries and not anywhere else, even with English version? That my phone shuts of half its locale-indendent features the moment I cross the border from Germany makes no damn sense.
