Account address issue has STILL not been acknowledged by Square.

I can't speak to Apple or Nintendo as I don't use their account systems but you absolutely can update you country of residence in Steam and I have done.

You can't freely do so, so if you move every year to another country, or travel for business purposes, kiss your steam purchases goodbye. Apple, and Nintendo lock your purchases behind the "region" your card is. I used a prepaid card on an iPad while I was in the US, just because I needed ONE US app, and when I went back to Canada I had to switch it back.

I think the majority of players would be happy enough to keep the same region that their account is tied to.

All we want is to be able to update our address correctly pay for our game subscriptions.

That's the problem. Because the payment processor refuses to accept US dollar payments unless the card has a US billing address. That's what I've been saying. Even awful Paypal does this. God help you if you have USD bank accounts outside the US, the payment processor will be "nope, you are in the EU, you pay in Euros" or "nope, you are in Canada, you pay in Canadian Dollars". That's the purpose of this "feature". It's likely that they even use different banks in different regions to minimize the currency exchanges.

All Square Enix has to do to fix this is allow users to use any payment card they have, and select the currency to charge it in. That solves everything. Ignore address verification as long as the name, card number and expiry is correct. When people go into a physical store, they are not asked to verify their address with the cashier/self-checkout. If it's the same payment card they've been using for the last 14 years, why the sudden incompetence? Did "Square Enix" get a better deal from another payment processor, who happens to be sorely incompetent (see the VISA Debit issue), or is it simply they are trying to "protect" accounts from using stolen credit cards/gift cards/prepaid cards from foreign countries?

There is no reason to tell players they need to make a new account.
