I agree with Steve's comments. The same feedback I am getting from our customers.

As others said, customers have the requirement to host data in country to comply with legislation. We are also talking to a lot of water customers and OCS not being hosted in Australia presents a roadblock for that conversation.

The justification is quite simple: Australia's data sovereignty law requires that data be kept in a data centre located in Australia (data residency), and be only accessible by Australians at all times. In Australia, data held on Australian soil is subject to and protected by our Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Data sovereignty is a country-specific requirement that data must remain within the borders of the jurisdiction where it originated. At its core, data sovereignty is about protecting sensitive, private data and ensuring it remains under the control of its owner.

Customers in Australia (mainly in the utilities industry) have expressed a need for data to be stored in Australia to comply with data sovereignty requirements.
