Well it has to do with culture/educational systems.
For example in Japan they still teach the abacus(soroban) as they see it helps visualise calculations which makes mental mathematics easier.
On the flip side Japan barely teaches spoken english and focuses mostly on written tests. So the typical japanese person can read/write english but can barely form an english sentence when speaking.
