Cannot see/access Chrome store extension file pages, unless connected with a VPN.

I am trying to download the CHROME add-on extension for ExpressVPN. When I go to the Chrome store, it says its not available. The people at ExpressVPN gave me a direct URL link, but again the screen shows THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE. So, I tried to search just for the subject VPN, and there were no Express VPN files on the Chrome store. WOW.
I am currently located in Honduras with a dedicated IP address.
So, I tried connecting to a VPN (both Toronto (CAN) and London (UK) and voila, the add-on page with download link appears. 
What is going on?

I am using Windows Chrome  Version 132.0.6834.111 (Official Build) (64-bit

It appears that the ExpressVPN Chrome extension is not available in your region, Honduras. This is likely due to government restrictions on VPNs. When you connect to a VPN, you are essentially routing your traffic through a server in another country. This can change your IP address and make it appear as if you are located in that other country. When you connect to a VPN in Canada or the UK, you are able to access the ExpressVPN Chrome extension because it is available in those countries. Here are some possible solutions:
  • Contact ExpressVPN support and ask them if there is a way to access the extension in your region.
  • Use a different VPN that is available in your region.
  • Change your IP address through other means, such as using a proxy server.
  • Move to a country where the ExpressVPN Chrome extension is available.
