"The content isn't available in your region"

You have the content. I want to watch the content. But nooooo, I have to turn my VPN on and pretend I'm somewhere else, and you know I'm not really there because I can't magically materialize half-way across the world in 1 minute.
So what's the point? Just let me watch the damn content.

I'm sure these region locks make a lot of sense for the suits when it comes to paying royalties and shit but as a consumer it's just infuriating. Archaic ass bullshit.

Its tied to royalties, which you mentioned, which are usually tied to archaic trade deals. The landscape may change after WW3 is done.
