More like because finding english speaking actors is a lot easier in an english speaking country, and also the writer likely doesn’t speak every language that would be relevant. Plenty of countries don’t get dubs of movies or series and people can still understand and enjoy them just fine. Though it probably increases appeal or there just wouldn’t br dubs.
I don’t particularly love them, but subtitles are just part of daily life in any non-English speaking countries given the amount of English speaking media being produced, so most of the world are used to them.
I think quite a lot of English natives also use subtitles on English media because of sound mixing or sound system issues that make dialogues hard to hear.
Anyways, it’s just a little jest, if you enjoy this trope, I am happy for you.
many people find it difficult to read subtitles fast enough, due to poor eyesight, dyslexia, poor education, developmental issues, the list goes on. its a little ableist to be so pretentious about your preference for subtitles.
for the record: i personally do not mind subtitles; i just know that there are people less advantaged than me. embrace choice.

Subtitles?
Ah, so it’s not about understanding
It is for slow readers.
Those must be slow snail ass readers

Oh hell yes I’m all for subtitle supremacy, with everything that comes with it. Including final solution to the dyslexic question
