Because as a regular international traveler, that's what springs to mind when I see requests like this.

Another thought is governmentally-driven censorship, something else I encounter a lot in my travels.

I’ll just simplify this and say that the Tor Project publishes a list of its exit nodes so you can block these if your 
abuse/fraud requirements necessitate this.

If it’s for geolocation blocking, I’m in favor of these political limitations to go away.  It doesn’t take a genius to 
bypass these if that’s your intent.
