And yet they straight up ignore one of the biggest cell phone markets by not selling in the US at all.

Well they don't ignore that market. They decided to not sell there yet. Because going to a new large market far away from all your warehouses and with a potential large demand cause a lot of headaches. Not to mention all the regulations and rules they need to abide by.
