Did you read the caption? The claim is that in other countries the variance is extremely small. You could dispute that claim, perhaps, but that's not what you've done here. (My objection to the graphs is that the bars are for 25-50-95th percentile, which is difficult to interpret. I'd rather they just gave a four-part 25-50-75-100, or at least a 25-50-75-95 if they can't reliably establish an upper bound, or maybe 5-50-95. Any of those would be easier to intuit.)
