Some websites are available only from US. Or some streaming service allows certain content only from US.

Why does such geo restriction exist? What is the benefit for the company to implement this?

    Very often the copyright holders of the content have different distribution arrangements for different countries/regions. If you can get the content from some other region, then your local content provider isn’t getting whatever fees/and revenue they would get from you.
