Being told "well, everyone else has solved the problem, you don't have an excuse" is not helpful. Being pushed into something by outside forces before your area is actually ready to do it is neither gracious nor professional from those doing the pushing.
Why would anyone contribute helpful or constructive advice if we're being told we can never understand the area or problems unique to that area?

That type of response is doing the exact opposite of inviting useful feedback which is why I pointed it out.

I'm not pushing anyone, anywhere. I've put a ton of effort into helping my region make a leap - and a lot of people are in a similar situation I was a few years ago. Many of them have reached out for my advice and I'm simply stating it.
