This is not Amazon, BN, Sony, Kobos, or any one of the major bookstores decision. It is the publishers decision and something that the bookstores cannot control.
Does that mean that even though I purchase from Amazon.com with my Canadian mail address 'geographical restrictions' apply to me that don't apply to an American buying on the same site?
I can't say I've ever come up against not being able to buy a book on Amazon.com that I've wanted. Would the site not notify me if and when I send the book to 'My Cart' that is restricted to me, or is it more likely that I just haven't come across a book I have tried to buy that is restricted?
