There are many variants of the Latin alphabet and the English alphabet contains only a subset of the letters contained in the other variants.
There is no reason to consider the English alphabet as superior for machine purposes, in comparison to other Latin alphabets.
Its dominance in IT is caused by the fact that most of the development of commercial computers after WWII has been done at IBM and other US companies, not by any properties of the English alphabet.
