I think you're underestimating the amount of stuff being blocked everywhere. Even in Spain where I live the list of blocked domains would be pretty big already, and it's just one country.

Even for VPN like apps, well, they aren't allowed on China's Apple app store. Fortunately you can switch to a different store, download the app and switch back, and Android users can just sideload an apk as usual. But that's enough to show how complex this is. (Another reason I absolutely hate Apple's walled garden.)
