But by small configurations to reach YouTube is still possible.
I believe there is a lot of ways to connect youtube.com
Reach YouTube watch broadcast on site, download YouTube videos using any YouTube video downloader.

Why YouTube is restricted in those countries is a topic of another discussion.
But governments thinks it is the easiest way to cencor things that they do not want to keep them out of scope.
Sometimes videos and movies published in YouTube causes the anger of peoples and are not polite to the sensibility of them.
I believe you can even add tens of reasons for why YouTube is restricted.
