Feels like a chicken and egg problem. Apple may not want to invest in improving their services in a country with a low penetration rate of Apple products, and people in that country may not want to buy Apple products if they aren't getting the full suite of services (even here in Singapore, I am missing Apple Pay cash, TV app, Siri support for the ATV remote and Apple news, amongst others).

True. Yet with TV app trust me it’s nothign to be missed just more confusion.
