.com domains are usually cheaper and usually much easier to register than ccTLD's. In my country, the ccTLD costs more than double the .com equivalent, and requires manual intervention to set up. I have to wait for a guy (and it's just one guy who's been handling it for over a decade) to show up for work on Monday, go through his emails, finish his coffee, and then manually set up my DNS. Given the above, .com's are always the first choice.
