Devil's advocate's attempt: because most traffic from foreign countries is fraud, automated security suites, potential DDoS or people trying credit cards.
I see the same though. Just yesterday for example the city website http://cupertino.org/ http://cupertino.org/ isn't accessible from Europe. Generic text error only "You don't have permission to access "http://www.cupertino.org/$(SERVE_403)/ http://www.cupertino.org/$(SERVE_403)/?" on this server." What are they protecting? I tried to lookup the postal code of a public building from an official source.

They've simply listened to a "security consultant" parrot a few points about foreign traffic being mostly fraud/DDoS/... but behold! they have a shiny WAF to sell.
