There are two issues: 1) Cost. IETF has limited resources, so unless each of us want to pay more and more for the registration fees or we are able to compensate the cost with more sponsors (which is every day more difficult), we need to look for cheaper locations. 2) Is un fair that the main driver is only looking at where more people comes from (this is fortunately changing anyway, and thus will less and less easy to match). Even worst if that's a country with doesn't allow everyone to come in.
