    So is the problem marketing?

    I don’t know what differences lie in the marketing that is allowed here vs US.

      I think the apps originated in silicon valley, so they had tons of money behind them that was willing to make a marketing push. Ads for them were already present as early as 2015 IIRC, even when they were still technically illegal, but nobody got arrested that I know of.
