It’s this. Japanese businesses almost always only truly care about the Japanese market. If something does well in foreign countries but does poorly in Japan, it can be expected that product will never be made again, or changes will be made to attempt to make it sell more in Japan, even if that means alienating the rest of the foreign market that already liked the way it was.
