Just like Disney+ that started in the Netherlands months before starting in the US.
Could be wrong.
I get that everyone wants everything right now, but if you're not in the US, surely you still understand domestic-market roll out? Doesn't seem like it's worthy of anything more than a passing "damn, too bad."
What I have problem is slow roll out features across the globe, when you cant see or understand the reason behind it.
And this isn't a new thing. They partnered with an established vpn provider. Horizontal scaling won't be an issue there.
There is really no reason, but I don't really care either
And there is really no reason to not go to the actual provider. Same price and you can use it on all platforms. They even provider a wireguard backend.
What?
So is iPhone Upgrade Programme, or Apple Pay where NFC were well established. There are always things to iron out before taking it further.
Not sure about other places yet.
It's in Beta, why should they go through all the legal processes to launch the product globally where there's still the potential that the final product might look completely different or never release?
Since Wireguard is still a bit new and buggy, they probably want to make sure it's stable and roll out in stages.
They are already rolling it out slowly via a waiting list. Limiting that to US only doesn't really change how "widely available" it is in order to iron out the kinds. Seem more likely this is regulatory related.
