I have a genuine question about this. How are we supposed to isolate user data stored in, say Postgres, by region, and still do multi-region replication, and restoring correctly? And how is the application supposed to find which region a user's record is stored?
What part of your question is the concern of a bureaucrat? We can drop a couple 9s of uptime in the name of local data primacy right? (I specifically didn't say "data privacy") :)

I get that those in decision-making power aren't usually technologically adept at figuring out solutions for these issues, but they should invest in solutions first.
