It kind of has to be due to pressure from the people they're licensing titles from, or at least fear they might claim they are violating a contract.

From Netflix's point of view, it's better if everything is available in every region, as it makes their service more valuable.

I also like the theory that it helps Netflix collect data better. I'm sure both elements are at play.
