Bard opened to a US-only audience. For being the engine in applications that might propel an LLM ahead of the others, I fail to see that this would be advantageous for opening markets and greeting new customers.

As an example [of the contrary], I noticed Swedish Klarna among the partners that OpenAI revealed when announcing their plug-in API today.

Bard speaks only English + is very limited, so that explains much why it's not widely deployed worldwide.

You might be right, though there is a vast difference between not supporting a language and actively barring access from different countries.
