It’s not a technology question, it’s an economics question. Content providers want to maximize profits so they want to increase prices as much as the market can bear. That leads to geographical market segmentation. What countries allow is irrelevant. As long as the content providers can figure out the true location of the vast majority of viewers, segmentation works. They don’t need 100% reliability.
