Because it's profitable for Yuga Labs to do that? They're a business making a business decision. They know users are more likely to participate in the community in the future if Yuga is willing to cover costs out-of-pocket. Again,

You make a good point, but this is still a step in the right direction. This offers users the chance to flee their country and retain their assets. Good luck getting your assets out of a legacy banking system in such a country.
