Russia already has a norm to show “Russian apps” the first time activating an iPhone or iPad, so that ship has sailed
The ship hasn't sailed; the more countries you let do that, the more problematic the precedent becomes. This isn't a binary thing.
It really should be a binary thing. Company policy should be to ship the same, base OS to every customer in every country, and the only differences would be configuration for things like which radio bands to activate.
