I am not sure that is the only reason. In software, being the " big player" on a given market is very important (m$ office comes to mind). Given the relative size of the US, who owns that market, can expect others to follow, because they fear, rightly or wrongly, the cost of eccentricity. Hence, compete in the US, and then reap vast profits from Europeans.
It's just a hunch.
