That is half the problem. The other half is that they just don't seem to
have as much of the hacker culture there as we do here. We grew up with
computers being this mysterious and awe-inspiring machine that the
priesthood cared for in their big air conditioned room or as the tool of
the elite hackers who wrote genious code that changed the world and we
all wanted to be one of them. But they are just not getting computers
and computer culture and given the field is already so mature I don't
think it is nearly as inspiring to them as it was to us.
