Probably one reason for being US-UK centric is more people read English than other languages. While I don't know if English is the modern international language world wide or not it is the language that a good many literate groups know. Certainly in my own case I can't read a book written in Japanese, Russian or Korean. I haven't been trained in reading the languages.
