We still model users as if they’re "local."

One language. One currency. One regulatory context.

That abstraction made sense once. It doesn’t anymore.

The "default user" is often a data-model fiction -- and we quietly exclude real humans because of it.

Localization isn’t translation. It's modeling for human variability.
