Your problem is that you're working backwards. Is the "correct" price for youtube premium the US/EU price, and the rest of the world is getting a discount? No! Of course not! If that were the case then Google would be losing money on every single third world youtube user!

The "correct" price is something much, much lower, and the people in the most expensive regions are being gouged because they can afford it.
