That might be a shame but it could also be an opportunity for those countries to build their own ecosystems around it. As much as it sounds like a positive to the citizens of the other countries on an individual scale, YouTube and Google being a free global platform stops any chance of local alternatives popping up. Though I am a massive advocate for making software more distributed and local, for the communities they are servicing. So it's worth noting I have that bias. I imagine a much more diverse software landscape, with more providers and more opportunities on smaller scales, rather than global behemoths that hoover up all the users and opportunities.
