You, as a user, are geolocked, it's not only Google, it's everyone.
The only excuse they have to do that is the different countries legislation, but besides that, like any geolocking, it's just not fit for "I can access my stuff, my services, from anywhere in the world because ... internet!", nope ... you can't.
I had the problem with Google, google dev license with a wallet, moving to another country ? well then create another google account, no other choices, period.
Can't we have the option to be a google dev in 2 different countries ? no you can't.
Same for Google Ads, even more so if you connect ads to a bank account to get paid.
Same with Apple, same with Facebook, same with Paypal, same with Microsoft Xbox, etc.
Some tricks can work: using a Google Apps for your domain email when you move to another country, alter slightly your name or use your middle name to create another account for the same service but from another country (and a different bank account), alter your gmail with old google trick +something eg. username+fr@gmail.com and username+uk@gmail.com etc.
If you move often it get old pretty quick.
