As for their recent hard drive related efforts, what I meant by global is that they didn't care for NA individually, but that they just did it for the "PS2", independent of region. The NA PS2s being dragged into it may be a mere consequence of that fact. But that was just my assumption, I'm not good at politics and policies in that regard to know for a fact.
Again, all of that is why i'm asking. Them. As in a SE community rep, who will possible have more than an opinion that can be shared with us.

I mean its in the TOS that we agree to every time we log on that 'SE can do whatever SE want' and i'm good with that. I'd just like a little more info. Don't see anything puzzling or out of the question in that.
