Region locking was invented as a way for companies to charge more in some areas than others, originally we didn’t have region locking, but with the advent of digital purchases and places like ebay where you could buy something from overseas companies started implementing region locking so they could rip off people in one region without giving them the option to circumvent unfair pricing.

Look up the australia tax for an example
