I guess they want to partially subsidize local developers?
Maybe that's a requirement from whoever funds them, probably public money.

Seriously? Does Netflix or Spotify cost the same everywhere around the world? They earn less and their buying power is less.
The costs of Netflix and Spotify are licensing. Offering the subscription at half price to additional users is non-cannibalizing and a way to get more revenue from the same content.
The cost of LLMs are the infrastructure. Unless someone can buy/power/run compute cheaper (Google w/ TPUs, locales with cheap electricity, etc), there won't be a meaningful difference in costs.
Sure so do professional tools like Microsoft teams or compute in different places of the world.
