What the price is should not matter either, unless you are looking to set up a shop that people will know will overcharge or where the people from the 'west' can set up shop without competition.

It's not that it's impossible or insurmountable, just that it requires effort that a start up may not be willing or able to put in at release.
Exporting isn't as easy as selling in your native country. People are able to do it because someone went through the effort of studying the laws of the country being exported to and determined that it would be profitable to export to that country.
And yes i do "export" my services to few countries so i would say i have experience with it.
The good developers/designers I know charge way more than that. And people are willing to pay for predictable results.
I'm sure the market will find a way to accommodate the price/quality relationship without adding restrictions like this.
The idea seems to be to restrict this to western countries only
