I think when you're at the lower volume, more specialist end of the market it's hard to justify the effort needed to go to all the different countries and learn the rules of selling there. Steam still doesn't sell hardware to NZ (Steam Deck, Index), Framework laptops are not available here, and Google Pixels aren't available. Places normally expand sequentially to big markets. US->Canada->EU->UK->Australia. We don't have the population to pull in anything but the big players (think Apple or Samsung vs Google Pixel).

We actually had Warehouse Stationary stocking the Google Nexus phones that came before the Pixel line, I had a Nexus 4 and 5 back in the day. I remember my wife and I both had Nexus 4s and they both bricked with the same issue, and the shop didn't argue because it was a known issue. Got 18 months of use from a phone then got a refund, so not bad.
