Not seeking any flames, but as an Australian citizen of this global community, it's easy to see where this attitude gets the US the reputation that that US *is* the global community.
When was the last time you saw a www.website.com.us? Almost by default, the global.com has become part of the US 'standard'. If I register a.com address in Australia, I recognise that it's designed to be global, and accept or embrace what that will mean in terms of my readership. In the US, many wouldn't know that there are such things as country codes.
