Until you have to help someone install an app not available to them.

Xfinity stream for example is not on the Chromecast play store, even though an Android build exists on the Fire TV store. I had to guide my dad through this. In this case it wouldn't be possible for 24 hours.

Had a similar issue with an app not available in a friend's region.

I could live with the whole flow minus the delay. This is shit, just pure shit.
