This also applies to currencies. I'd rather have a popup modal that tells me I can choose another currency later. By default leave it set to USD.

Yes, please. I don't mind even if you set it it by location, but at least provide me a way to change it manually. I live in a north African country, but I get the currency set to south Africa (looking at you origin) without the ability to override!

Not being able to override it part sounds intentional since those stores has regional prices and they don't want people to change currency/region easily.
