This is particularly annoying for people who've moved around in Europe. It is not unusual to live in Denmark but want to watch e.g. a French film with English subtitles, or a French film with German dubbing, but many streaming services only provide subtitles/dubbing in the film's original language plus the local language.
For some reason the EC seems to have allowed this [1], but it seems an obvious failure to create a single market.

- appplication 3y ago> anti-piracy initiatives will be a priority of the European Commission’s Digital Single Market (DSM) policy This article is unintentional satire. It’s promoting as if there were huge steps made towards making a digital single market, but they only further codified local and fragmented digital markets, for no other reason than filmmaker profit. And fighting piracy that arises as s consequence of their failure to actually create a single market is perplexingly both in scope of, and a priority for, the commission.
