Ask HN: Why do products still skip local pricing?
today chatgpt launched a new pricing tier for India. Grok already has purchasing power parity pricing. If this helps signups and revenue, why are products still not doing location based pricing? Is it tech or just mindset?

You answered your own question. Increased usage, but with decreased revenue/profit is not a business strategy often employed. Losing money does not get fixed by scaling up.
If there is a scenario where different pricing still works, I'm sure it will happen. But most companies are fine with simply not entering markets where the business model doesn't add up.
