Netflix region locks content that they have to license, not their original content. Sometimes content is restricted because of previous exclusive licenses given to traditional channels (e.g. cable).
I imagine that as everything moves to “streaming first”, and old licenses expire, we ‘ll leave región locking behind. Video games are not región locked, even though prices are adjusted for different markets.
Movies and series should move more and more towards a global market. When I was a kid movies took months to arrive to theaters in my country (for various reasons, like reusing celluloid or making better predictions of performance)... now big blockbusters premier simultaneously everywhere because a good portion of marketing is global.
