Whats going on with apple pay?

Service is ok, but control over the customers is excessive. I used to pay for my rides in both the US and Mexico using apple pay on my iphone (my account is US based). Now it doesnt work in Mexico anymore, forcing me to enter my credit card info because Uber purposely blocked it based on location. Thats an unnecessary and excessive control over the customers. Apple Pay is just a credit card payment, and users based in a country where apple pay is already available should still be allowed to use it in any other country they travel to. It does not matter whether apple pay is supported in that other country or not, because even if its not, apple pay will still be recognized by the local payment system as a valid credit card. I can prove that because I used it in Mexico just fine until Uber purposely blocked it based on location. Since then, I get an error "apple pay not available in this region" when I request a ride in Mexico and choose apple pay as payment. I dont like being controlled that way.
