Well for FM, they sell it in a lot of different countries. And even the smaller countries/teams can participate in soccer tournaments like Concacaf, the European Championship / UEFA championship etc... so it adds a lot of depth/realism even if you're not managing the more obscure countries/teams.

As for OOTP, I supsect it's because a) they are levereaging FM/EHM's code, b) they are trying to sell to many countries along the sames sales lines as FM, and c) Marcus is not American so he's more likely/predisposed to allow for other countries/nations to be modeled.
