On the contrary, if you don’t have business in a country and they just spam you or try to hack you why not block the whole IP range. China, India, Russia, Subsaharan Africa, SEA

If I can have that feature with an on-prem firewall or load balancer, why can't I ask the in-cloud equivalent to also have it?

Companies should have that option if they choose, to apply to themselves at will.
