Some countries have stringent laws on whether personal data can be stored outside of the country or jurisdiction. In this case, Germany data laws are probably incompatible with US laws.

It's not a data sovereignty issue. This is strictly about sharing a space allotment, not where it is stored.

I'm going to guess it has to do with billing since Google, and especially the Play store, is pretty preoccupied with what country you are in.
