Furthermore, the penalties for cyber crimes, and ability to track footprints are much more articulate and accessible for authorities in the US and UK for citizens that hack and abuse US & UK systems, which makes enforcement upon US and some EU hackers much more harsh/severe/less complex to enforce, and more likely to be apprehended... Many users in economically disadvantaged countries use older devices like PCs running older software, routers that don't allow Mac level reporting, and well past EOL cell phones that don't leave the kinds of footprints that modern devices do (on top of the well documented now legacy security measures they can take).
