Tizen app for a Samsung Smart TV and multiple countries/regions

Hi!

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but why are some Tizen apps flagged to appear in just one country? Would it not make sense to have as large audience as possible. In particular streaming apps such as YLE Arena (Finland) and SVT Play (Sweden)? Yes, I know that there are copyright issues, but both Sweden and Finland make their own-produced programming available to other countries. So there is no particular good reason for the YLE Arena app to be available only if the country is set to Finland for example.

My understanding is that this is a decision that is made when the app is uploaded to the Tizen appstore and I am just wondering why a very restrictive setting is used? Yes, I know that similar issues exist on Android.
