If you are making an ad campaign, all of the US speaks the same language, generally has the same safety regulations, and a much larger percent of the people are your target ad personnel

The EU is a cohesive unit for regulations but speak many different language and once you branch out of the EU to all of Europe you can see why there are huge advantages to advertising in the US.

So no it’s not the absolute number that matters

California is famous for having different safety regulations.

I don't see how the percentage should matter, absolute numbers matter. You get money for every sale, if you sell to 1% or to 99% is irrelevant.
