Steam does it very well for games, pricing games differentially such that they are much cheaper in 3rd world countries. JetBrains could do something similar too.

Developer wages too vary from country to country.

Steam basically turned it on for every developer until a lot of them noticed how little are they getting from some countries. If iPhones and TV cost the same I'm not sure why software products should.

If its a question of a little vs nothing, it is better to have atleast a little IMHO.
