It's mostly related to employment entity complexity vs. organizational demand for that location.

To operate legally as a business in most of those countries on that list adds complexity that leadership has deemed "not yet". Doesn't mean forever, just means, not yet. I've seen countries come and go off of the list.

Thanks. So it's a growing/shrinking list, because there surely are a lot of even smaller countries that would be added if something applied.
