I suppose the issue is that the UK not only broke ties with the EU, but also with the EEA (although that doesn’t really explain Iceland not being part of the ‘Authorized Countries’), meaning Jolla would have to file a lot of paperwork to do business with UK-based customers.
Regardless of whether the UK is added to the ‘Authorized Countries’ again or not, you can simply pretend you live in one of the ‘Authorized Countries’ and everything will work. People from all over the world have been using the VPN trick for years. Of course this is just a temporary workaround and not a permanent solution.
Edit: I thought I remembered reading about this before. Someone over on TMO asked Jolla, and got the reply below.
