US has a lot of rich old gullible people speaking the same language. Central Europe doesn't, so it's not as cost effective to target. It doesn't help that you can hire a lot of English speaking people for pennies in India to

MCAS is not an anti-stall system, it’s a way to change stick forces by trimming the horizontal stabilizer - the surface with most control authority. There’s no evidence it has ever prevented a single stall or even activated properly, but th

Neatos don’t have a real ToF LiDAR in them - they use triangulation to estimate distance. Those don’t work well outside or at long ranges. https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:995686/FULLTEXT0...
