This makes sense as there still billions of other potential users around the world. Add to that the fact that other nations like content of their own cultures in their own languages.

Won't people just continue using the app? Wouldn't it be as easy as side loading future installs?
iPhone has enormous market dominance in the US and no sideloading.
