Or else what? What ability would any country have to demand that an app be removed from offer outside of their jurisdiction?

  It has been seen in the form "if you don't comply then your operation in the country will be considered illegal regardless what you do locally". That carries a different weight depending on the country, e.g. missing out on the market in Greenland isn't going to get you much but not being able to participate in the Chinese market can be a big hit. Movies are a more classic example of this push.

  - Or else pay fine - Then pay 10x fine - Then appstore is banned - Then 100x fine - Then your employees in the country are arrested and held as hostages As someone from a country that turned into totalitarian shithole in mere 10 years, that "pfft I don't care they won't enforce it" attitude looks dangerous and shortsighted.
