They probably think that geolocation always perfectly works based on the physical location and don't consider edge cases like people with roaming SIMs (which is what I think a lot of those cheap data-only eSIMs effectively are) geolocating to their home country even when abroad.

Though by now you'd think that people are aware the e.g. the Google/Apple app store region locking basically locks out all tourists, but it seems that even that isn't necessarily common knowledge…
