For large portions of the world, the local TLD allows domain holders to get a domain paid for in local currency, for a price that's locally affordable, with local DNS servers for the TLD. For gTLDs they'd have to pay in US dollars, at prices that are set for Americans, and have them served far away on the other ends of expensive and flaky International transit connections. The problem with ccTLDs is the same as with telefone numbers. You lose them as soon as you move. Maybe that is not a problem in north america, but in europe it is. You must live in a country to be allowed to register and keep a domain there.
