Why is this sad?

Because it doesn’t work. The intention if the ccTLD registry is clear: they only want local businesses and persons to use the domain names in their ccTLD. But as it stands, as a foreign company it is only slightly more expensive to register a domain in such a ccTLD than some other TLD – it does not stop anyone except poorer foreign people from registering, and placing limits on poor people just for being poor never works out well.
