No. There are not. Using a SIM card roaming in another country, you and your provider are still bound by the contract you have. This is based on the rules and the law applied in the home country of the SIM. For instance some providers are required to net neutrality and no censorship etc. On roaming you can always be sure that the rules of the home country are applied, whatever local circumstances are.

For instance it may be very annoying not to use Google in China. But it's blocked all over. On a HongKong or foreign SIM card, it's not. You are right, that it adds more traffic and may slow things down a bit, but is has advantages in some places too.
