Caution, abject speculation:
I thought spooks like this kind of thing because they can do illegal things in other jurisdictions that they're restrained from doing in their own - or get foreign agents to spy on you to avoid getting a warrant. Like they can route traffic to another country, then have affects there hack you to avoid laws that curtail actions against your own citizens.
I don't know, just seemed like one point of groups like Five-eyes.

They at least need to find contacts in the remote country and persuade them to spend time for their task. Sometimes that’s all it takes to prevent them from passively collecting signals, unless you are an important target.
