I find it baffled that a company of that caliber don't have regression tests that can verify region-bound changes wouldn't affect results intended for other regions.

It was a mistake not an accident. When you make an accident, test safety checks can save you.

However although you don’t intentionally make a mistake, you do intentionally carry it out.

In that case, no amount of safety checking will stop a human being from implementing bad logic.

If someone accidentally didn't scope the change as region bound, what makes you think they couldn't accidentally scope the test wrong the same way?

Human error knows no bounds.
