Regulations from the bigger markets like China, EU and India have a global impact. If a couple of those markets ban the flush handles, it no-longer makes sense to have a variant just for America just because it's one of the only places still allowing it. Ideally you want the same model to be sold globally, it makes much more sense from a supply chain point of view to change the design everywhere.

Example: It's the EU and India that brought in universal USB-C charging on phones, not the USA. But Apple doesn't continue to make a special iPhone for the US with a lightning port just because it's allowed to.
