Does anybody have stats on the average or media profit for SMBs with software developers per country? I'm willing to bet the differences across countries have something to do with that.
Most other countries (and economic unions like the EU) don't have a homogeneous market, which is mostly due to language and history, as well as infrastructure. Companies in the US can optimally target ~300M clients in the US alone with a digital, English offering. that number just rises if you're willing to go to other English-speaking countries.
If you were to compare that to a company in say Poland, Thailand or Argentina, either your product won't reach most people because the infrastructure simply isn't there, and the market can be quite small too.
Some countries are also notoriously difficult to start a business in due to worker's rights or burdensome procedures.
Other regions in the world couldn't do/haven't done enough to provide a stable, slightly homogeneous market, due to old rivalries, foreign influences (Afghanistan, Venezuela, Chile, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, etc.) or just straight up negligence and arrogance.
