You mean like English-native speaker have their own English speaking view of the planet in which they happily live. There are English businesses, English universities and research, English (ex-)colonies, English tourism etc. ?

That's exactly what the parent is saying conceptually.

The mega cultures with their larger populations are able to live within their own bubbles more easily than smaller countries. They typically produce a lot more media content to fulfill their own demand, as one example. It's true whether we're talking the US, Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, China, Japan and so on.
