Because the manufacturer doesn’t want to support people in the US market, which is why they bricked the devices.

Why should the manufacturer be concerned you tried to skirt the region restrictions they were very upfront exist?

But if they hadn’t broken the devices, the devices would have continued to work fine.

So, companies like the free market when it suits them, but want regional monopolies (without providing any value) when it benefits the consumer. Interesting.
