On the contrary, if you don’t have business in a country and they just spam you or try to hack you why not block the whole IP range. China, India, Russia, Subsaharan Africa, SEA

so as a traveler, i can't access important sites in my home country because i happen to be in a different country that you decided to block?

> Their "black hole the entire country" function is a function no company should provide.

If I can have that feature with an on-prem firewall or load balancer, why can't I ask the in-cloud equivalent to also have it?

Companies should have that option if they choose, to apply to themselves at will.

Why not? There’s no right to force everyone on the internet to interact with everyone else.
