Isn’t this true of most companies?

I don't know to be honest. Realistically speaking, the bigger the company the easier it should be to hire elsewhere.
Google has legal representation pretty much everywhere in the world, yet when I see engineering positions, they are mostly "anywhere in the US".
For example, I feel like Oracle, IBM, or Accenture will be happy to hire you in a country like Slovenia, while companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. are more likely to force you to relocate to a place where they've got a large office.
All of the above is my subjective perspective of course, I haven't worked for Google, MS, nor Apple.
I'd love to know which big tech companies are happy to hire a remote-only engineer and let them work from their own country.

Yea, no. It's kind of funny that the image of the world is centered at North America. That's how I feel about Google (and a lot of other big tech) hiring practices.
I'm not saying you can't work for Google from the UK, Germany, India, or other places, but it gets a lot harder.
