My experience here is similar and not resolved after several years. My phone now now happily installs US apps (after starting in the UK) _except_ that it will not update the Google Fi app, but my watch with the same account complains every 15 minutes about being in the wrong store with no way to resolve it.

I do have apps from both stores installed on my phone now (after a lot of trial and error), but believe there is a special place in hell _anyway_ for companies providing services like delivery who do not add their apps to stores globally (looking at you, Doordash). Do they think a tourist or business traveller never wants to order lunch to their hotel?

A general rule of software is that any bug that a US-based developer or QA tester wouldn't easily be able to trigger can remain present for a very, very long time.
