Do you have any examples for that phenomenon?

I use a lot of news aggregators, and never once got a link to a 451.

I think part of that is also that it's not foolproof to identify where a user is connecting from. Because I think legally, you can't use "but that user had an US IP address" as an excuse why you broke EU law against an EU citizen connecting from inside the EU.

Because if you're not sure where a user is, you can do the right thing instead of guessing.
