Discs have region locks lol
My Playstation bought in the USA never stopped working when I physically moved to a different country.
I'm not a PlayStation guy but the early PlayStation as well as movie DVDs/Blurays had region lock. Basically it only lets you play media from the same region you bought the player/console.

PlayStation games haven’t been region locked for decades, that all went away with the PS3 in the 2000s. It happened a bit later with movies, with all UHD/4k discs being region free.
But even region locks were still a thing, if you move you can bring your discs and player with you and not lose anything. This is not always the case with online accounts.
