As a side note, as the stores are purely virtual, it becomes very easy to use a store outside of the country you live in.
For instance I kept using the same store after moving country, or I know people using the US stores for various reasons while staying outside of the US.
I am actually wondering how niche of case this could be, but this makes weird cases where you're bound to switch back and forth between multiple stores just to get a single app that didn't want to get published in all the countries.
In particular bank apps do that a lot, when they're already checking for account numbers etc. so they could as well publish in every country and still only allow their members to use the app.
