It takes extra effort to make these features be unavailable outside the EU, so this is active malice, not laziness or anything like that.

  It does not in fact take extra effort to make them be unavailable outside the EU.

    Of course it does. At minimum you need to have your dev team program these features so that they can be disabled without breaking anything else. At the absolute minimum, QA and all costs involved are doubled for the foreseeable future.

    At a minimum they need to detect if the person is in the EU.

    A minimal effort to have a feature switch depending on region is still some effort more than not having that. It may not be a lot of effort, but it would absolutely be easier to have the same features everywhere.
