Obviously a brilliant set of minds went into making the BBC such a parochial entity that no one other the UK residents can't view their material. That makes total sense since the premier league only interests UK residents.
The BBC as a broadcaster is funded entirely by the license fee which is a mandatory requirement on ALL who watch UK terrestrial TV on all channels and all streaming services associated with them.

Nothing remotely parochial about the BBC, just a funding structure that prioritises UK viewers as they pay the piper.

Btw, I recognise that a broader viewing audience for BBC output is achieved via commercial deals with broadcaster and media outlets elsewhere but they are a relatively insignificant amount compared to the funds generated by the license fee.
