>to the detriment of the user
Except these features are not to the detriment of users. If apps were not region locked at the store either they just won't be in the store or they will implement the region lock themselves. Similarly DRM is seemless for users. The users get the same media watching experience they expect, but the content is securely played to stop people from making illegal copies.
