Well, marking it “solved” when half of your customers still don’t have a feature enabled sends a bad message to that part of the market. 
Instead of saying “We won’t rest until all of our users have it - no customer left behind!”, you’re basically telling people in “other” countries that they’re second tier customers.
Why not communicate openly - when asked about Portugal, Hungary, Croatia et al., why not say “We have constraints by Apple, but we’re fighting for you guys and hope you’ll get it by xxx”, instead of the generic “We know it’s exciting news!”
