I think it is because of the commercial aspects of advertising. Some parts of our planet have bigger consumer markets, and therefore have a bigger overall advertising demand. On top of that, not all products are globally available, so some advertisers won't be willing to pay money to screen their ads to people who can't buy their products.

So although it seems unfair to us players, I don't think there are any sinister motives at play by FM or EA. Its just a reflection of how advertising is sold globally I think...
