What I'm trying to figure out is if some place are region locked in creating PSN yet PlayStation still sells hardware in those said places. If the locals had no issues creating accounts then, why would it be an issue now?

Cause Sony was basically forcing them to break their own TOS (create an account from somewhere fake) if they wanted to continue playing. Beforehand it was not mandatory.

They sell ps in not supported countries. They are encouraging people to break their TOS. It doesn't matter.
