To give you an example why this makes sense:
One of our apps uses local dialin numbers to allow our customers to make cheap calls to foreign countries.
Since we do not have local dialin numbers in every single country, we limit the access to those countries.
If we didn't limit the access the app would either be useless to some customers, or useless AND very expensive (if for example a US customer routed via German dialin number to his destination)
So to me, this is a feature, you often just don't have the information about the technical or regulatory reasons why an app is restricted.
