Vision Pro Country lock - Temporary or forever?

I live in the Netherlands and am considering driving across the border next month to get myself a Vision Pro in Germany. On several places I read about the downsides of importing the device from the US in the last couple of months; most of them because of a country lock.

People seem to need to create a separate Apple ID for the country they bought the Vision Pro at in order to install apps. I'd be fine with working with my device like that for a while, but my question is, is that country lock embedded in the hardware, or will it be patched in the future, so I can just reset it and use it with my own Apple ID as soon as they start selling in the Netherlands?

I doubt it, but at the end of the day it's everyone's best guess,

this is a user helping users forum, so sort of like asking for advice from other customers in a real apple store

so unless someone who bought it in USA at first, and lives in a country where it has since been released, can give you confirmation it will just be guesswork.

you can try their official support channels

Fun fact, the official Apple Support told me should ask it here lol.

But you’re right. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be released in the UK and Japan a little bit earlier, maybe someone can confirm that the country lock gets removed or not ^^…
