Who cares? Obviously the markets they are available to. There isn't much reason in the current marketplace from a monetary reason to develop consumer electronics that are global in scale. So many different regulations, so many different requirements. The cost to deliver something that very much scales the global barrier beyond just language translation is something that just isn't cost effective for the end user.
If you're unhappy with the fact that the part of the world you live in doesn't offer services that these set top boxes do provide you access to, start something yourself, don't just bitch about it and make a very, to be frank, very idiotic assumption. But that is another conversation all together.
