Fair enough, but that doesn't mean that we have to go out and rent a 
physical office. A corner of someone's basement is enough as long as 
there is a physical address where the post office can leave official mail.

Other countries have similar laws too.  They frown on the collection of 
tax relieved charitable donations which are exported for use in another 
country.
