Many country TLDs require the registrant to be domiciled in the country. And the degree of domicile/nexus widely varies, from simply having an address, to having a physical presence. If you're just starting out you simply may not be able to set up all of the various legal structures to comply with the various CCTLD domain name registry requirements. .com/net/org do not require a US nexus (which is separate from whether or not the US considers such domains to be under US jurisdiction). For services I care about I grab com/net/org/biz/info as well as misspellings or variations on the domain name. I stopped registering CCTLD variants except for occasional .co and .me domains, because of the domicile/nexus requirements (.us also as a nexus requirement).
