Region locking exists purely as a way for companies to get more money from people.
tl;dr explanation: game is ten bucks cheaper in europe than america for whatever reason. why buy the american version when you can get the euro version for cheap? companies dont like that and want money, therefore america is forced to buy the america version unless they buy a euro system first. (replace "america" and "europe" with any region where necessary)
they also use explanations like "it helps us gauge statistics of what regions buy what products" but that's just PR bullshit mostly
it's all about money and is pretty anti-consumer
