Pretty much all Apple services roll out in phases. From MacWorld Magazine (last year): > As part of its staggered roll-out, the iPhone 11 launched in a total of 30 countries simultaneously on 20 September 2019. Customers in Israel had to wait another six days; and then the day after that, another 28 countries were added to the list. When Steve Jobs introduced new products / services, he would have a slide for the first countries in line, then another slide of the next group.

This isn't Apple ignoring or favoring anyone. It's Apple starting with what they've got so far.
