Apple Music on Amazon Echo

When are we in New Zealand going to get a break?

HomePods are not available in New Zealand so our only option is an Amazon Alexa.

Up until last week Apple Music was not available on Alexa but Apple and Amazon have come to an agreement and allowed Apple Music on an Alexa device. Whoop Whoop I was very happy.

Yesterday I went to add my account and only to get an Apple Music message "Apple Music With Alexa is not available in your country or region"

C'mon Apple, why not? Can I have a reason why its not or I might need a reason to stay with Apple Music and not switch to Amazon
