why can't most countries access tiktok monetization program?

TL;DR: Why is tiktok monetization still not universally available to all (or most countries) after 3 years? YouTube did it decently with Adsense, what's the hold up with ByteDance?

TikTok launched its creativity program in February 2023 and for that they experimented with select creators in a few countries like USA, Brazil and France. That is understandable.

What's not understandable is why it's 2026 and the eligible countries for creator program are still only 8 (United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico)?

It is not hard to reach universal monetization, I can get paid from YouTube monetization via Google AdSense even though I live in a country infamous for online payment restrictions.

Surely it is not a lack of monetization either. ByteDance is a multi-billion dollar company and the incentive program has paid several users well.

Lack of advertisers in a specific country should be an issue only if I want to make content for audience in my region. But what if I make content for English-speaking target audiences in wealthy countries. In that case, I should get paid since they should see ads in their regions.

I genuinely think it's unfair to incentivize one person but dismiss another just from the country they were born in especially if both can provide similar added value.
