How is it weird for a UK organisation to focus on the coverage of UK locations? They also don't show France or any other country affected.

The map includes Ireland, not France, and Ireland has the greatest percentage coverage. So it would be normal in such cases to also have a pointer that says "Cork - 98%", except for the weird quirks of nationalism.

I guess they don't assume that their UK audience would want to travel to another country for the event.

Why would they make that assumption?

Anybody in the north of Ireland could easily nip down to Cork for the night to get the best view they can. There's no border between the north and south of Ireland.
