The primary reason for not providing services in "rest of the world" is apparently "fuck you".

The same applies to not respecting your language of choice.

But the absolute worst is American companies (it's always American services, and not just because of US dominance) manipulating content based on GeoIP and giving me a shitty localized version of their service for no legal or commercial reason.

It's infuriatingly patronizing.
