Or, as another example: sites that require a phone number (maybe for 2FA 
[second factor authentification]), but only accept US phone numbers. It is a 
major pain for those of us that don't live in the US, but have extensive 
dealings with US companies.

PS -- What makes you think commercial software is better in that regard? It 
will be designed according to how the designers think the majority of their 
customers would want. Choice of behavior MIGHT be provided if they think the 
minority also a significant number. But often is not.

      For example, I live where there is no cell service. Do you know what 
percentage of websites requiring account creation REQUIRE a mobile number 
(verification by text) vs how many provide an alternative (email of land line 
number sent an automated call). I do. I can even recognize one situation where 
I can tell more than one designer involved in the design (early in the process 
allows use of the alternative "verify via code sent by automated voice to a 
land line or by email" but at the completion of the process "must enter mobile 
number for verification sent by text" ----- insanely this is a process for 
setting up "paperless billing" FOR A LAND LINE). The point is maybe 97% of 
people here in the US live where can have a mobile, only 3% live where no 
service, so forget about them.
