This is completely based on personal experience, and a significant amount at that.

Most Indians who study Physics/CS/Math/Engg. do that because they want a high paying job and social prestige.

Most Americans who study these, are genuinely interested in these subjects. They are passionate about these.

An interesting corollary that appears to be related is that the gender gap in STEM is much less large in the developing world.
