The EU also has more languages than the US. Even if it was legally a single market, that wouldn't make it a single market culturally.

Agreed, but making things available and advertising them are different things. You can hold off advertising them until you have a dubbing or subtitle available, but people who want to watch it anyway can go ahead and find it with a direct search. In several EU countries, a majority of the population is already English-fluent (or can get by with English subtitles), and those realities aren't reflected by the market.

Yes, but that doesn't prevent you from just publishing it in english, initially at least.

Right, and the countries with the smallest populations are more likely to have a majority population not needing subtitles.
