I'm not following the logic here. If it were a matter of "our nation needs the additional income caused by ancillary charges that occur in an international sale," they could just add a few dollars (pounds, whatever) to each sale, to be distributed to some national tax office.

No. The logic is that given the goal the rules are perfectly rational. And the goal was to get the effect you get for physical goods with respect to advantages for locally produced items ans so on. I think it is a bit silly for people to insist that they cannot see why the rules are rational given certain goals.
The questions if the goals good or bad is then a totally different questions that I have not expressed any opinion about.
