What is provided by the BBC and provided by BBC Worldwide is entirely different.
Aside, it also depends on what you mean by geoblocking. Should I, who pays for the BBC each month, suddenly lose access because I'm away in France for business?
Or more generally, if people are willing to pay the licence fee, why should it matter where they live? Nobody says it has to be free for everyone outside the UK, but could people outside the UK not pay exactly the same and expect to get the same back?
