Yeah. It’s super annoying when visiting a foreign country and you want to install an app for a local transport provider. If they haven’t made their app available globally you just can’t install it.

I imagine they use this as a way of removing an app from a country that forbids it. But also, I think you, as a dev, pay more if you want your app in all AppStores.
As other said, transport app, food delivery and other services are a pain to have if they’re not available in your country’s AppStore.
