Because there is rarely anything they can do about it. It doesn't help me to know a widget it $1 in the EU when I live in the US and they all cost $2 here - I can't exactly hop on a plane and fly there to take advantage of the price differences.

If I live in a developed enough society, I can order from overseas, but often the import duties and shipping costs will negate whatever price advantage there is.

There are certain exceptions. Darts, for example. Canadian and American players can save money buying from European sites, even after you factor in shipping costs and currency conversion. And this includes buying American made darts.
