This is very US-Centric. Poland is the 3rd most apple producing country in the world (behind US and China) [1]. It has probably the highest apple per capita count and I cannot even find basic varieties that Poland offers in this search engine - Ligol, Antonówka (Antonovka) [2][3].

US is the default on the internet. So unless explicitly mentioned I tend to assume content is geared to a US audience. But I did not know Poland was big in apples. Interesting. I noticed the strong regional variances in Apple availability ever since moving to Canada. I have had a very hard time finding an apple that works well for baking, as Boskoop Apples aren't a thing here.
Unless you specify, I might assume you're Asian.
(most probably they'd speak English too. I'm gonna say because I think you'd be concerned)
Scrolls to bottom Red delicious in the bottom 10. Perfect. This also reminds me of a side project blog I built years ago where I’d review and rank chips (potato/tortilla/other). Was a fun creative outlet for a while but life got too busy. I hope to pick it back up some day.
The best apple I ever had was a Fuji apple… in Japan. It's never that crisp in the US. I don't know why they rank Cosmic Crisp so low. I rank it neck and neck with SweeTango.
We can get cosmic crisps here year round, but they're usually out of season as a result. One of the good things about cosmic crisp is they don't really go super bad out of season, just almost-good.

This ranking seems pretty plausible to me if you're buying your apples at the supermarket. It gives good marks to varieties which maintain their texture through weeks (or months!) of refrigeration. On the other hand, if you're at an apple orchard and deciding what to pick to eat right now, this is not the list for you. A Cortland, McIntosh, or Macoun right off the tree easily beats a Honey/Cosmic/etc crisp.
I love fresh Empire apples, but give them two weeks and they go from highly crisp to mealy. It's always a gamble even at the farmstand which one I'm going to get.

I am pretty sure 90% of sites visited by Chinese citizens to be hosted in, and tailored towards China.
Also it's not just the Internet being US centric. It's American people being US centric in general, and thus on the Internet make it seem like only US exists. It's more cultural than you think it is.

China and India have more internet users than the US. Unless you specify, I might assume you're Asian. (most probably they'd speak English too. I'm gonna say because I think you'd be concerned)
