You are wrong because the country specific prepaid SIM cards usually don't

Are you sure about that? UK prepaid SIMs have worked abroad for several
years now- it's more expensive than roaming on contract, and some
providers limit the countries to ones that operate the CAMEL system
(most of Europe has at least one provider in a country that uses this),
but it can be done.
