That map is just what the Unicode consortium ( a California non-profit) decided should be used on it’s standards.
It has zero authority on what day is the fist day of the week outside that and it certainly has not done any real research on what people actually use in all these countries.
Same with ISO 8601 in regards to dates. It’s not actually used outside of naming sortable computer files (if even that) and certainly now used in common speech or official documents etc.
Simply put misrepresenting these maps and ISOs by generalizing what they apply to is wrong
We could standadize measurements more than 100 of years ago with the metric system, we can also do this with time and date. ISO 8601 is the future old man.
About that map I didn’t search too much for it, if you find a better map it could be a nice new post in this community.

I find it hilarious that you bring up the metric system in regards to time and dates that actually failed to be metrified.
I don’t need to provide a better map to point out that this one is wrong.
