It's not about them trying, they don't have the competence that it takes to sell phones worldwide. It takes years to build relationships with the carriers -- where most phones are sold.

You mean the carriers they have relationships with for Fi? https://fi.google.com/about/international-rates/

Those are roaming agreements. It’s a lot easier to get roaming agreements than your phone in retail stores.

Notice that they don’t offer Google Fi for sell internationally and they also don’t offer free roaming like t-mobile.
