Easy - you are based in the USA, so very likely most of your traffic volume 
will be in this general area.

Where I am based, while there is a lot of traffic volume to North America, 
there are also large volumes to Pacific and Asia.

So therefore the over all USA and NA % is smaller from this part of the world, 
hence the up line can make enough profit over all that they are less likely 
to view it as a loosing proposition.

There is of course also the psychological element that companies are more 
polite to people overseas...
