For a related example, my brother in law is trying to get a treatment for FOP (Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) approved in various countries - he has had it approved by the FDA, but the U.K., EU, Japan, and some other countries haven’t approved it yet, because they want more evidence on certain aspects.

It’s not binary, it’s shaded.
It's political.
