Certainly local government wants the buyer's location to be the sale - ebook or print - so they get a second dip at the buyer's wallet via sales tax.
At least in the US, print books manage to be exempt from publisher interference re: the buyer's location thanks to the doctrine of first sale; however, that generally isn't considered to apply to ebooks, hence the publishers sticking their nose in.
