I cannot think of a legitimate basis to discriminate by country.

basically not all countries speak english as a first language, so it wouldn't make sense to put it in all countries. secondly, staggered rollout is pretty common

Same here. I wonder if using a VPN would risk me to get my Google account blocked...

Probably a big risk considering few entities are more sure of what country you are in.

It says it doesn't support my personal Google Workspace account, my corporate one, nor my Gmail account. I'm starting to think maybe they aren't ready for us to try it out after all...

I'm always fascinated to understand the "why" when something is allowed in the U.S. but not Canada. Especially so when it's also allowed in the U.K. We're basically a perfect (I'm sarcastically winking here) mix of those two countries!

I'm guessing it's purely regulatory?

Doesn't matter, they'll discontinue it as soon as enough people start relying on it.

Don't worry it does that for basically all signups right now. Weird hug of death variant I suspect.
