Apple is doing what we call "Kicking and screaming like a child".

Eventually they'll have to open up everywhere, but for now they're only doing it where legally required.

Luckily the first year or so won't be useful, just interesting. Eventually someone is going to find a way to make money in this space and the countries listed will have the appropriate politicians bribed and it will open up. Sadly that's probably another 2-5 years away.

They will never have to open up in the USA, because they own the people who would legislate them.

Yes, but in Capitalism v Capitalism, Capitalism wins. Apple will conceed, eventually, but not for many years. 2 to 5 is my estimate, but it may take much longer.
