The UK versions are not equal to the US versions. If it not the same product, how can they restrict me due to a regional contract about the product?
So yes, it seems they don't want to sell people books.

It doesn't have to make sense - it's legal stuff. As far as regional variations go, I totally agree with you, but you might just as well ask the same thing about DVDs - why are there region 1 DVDs which only work in the US, and region 2 DVD which only work in Europe, when often they are not the same thing?
If TOR only have the publishing rights to sell an eBook in the USA, then they
can't sell it to you if you live elsewhere. I'm sure they'd love to, but their contract doesn't permit it.
