Because this is a fairly American problem with the American patent system in particular and the ultimate target of pieces like this are American lawmakers and voters.
It's not that only American victims matter, it's that this problem is fairly American in nature and scope.
Democrats have a chance at overhauling the Patent system tomorrow, the pathetic nature of these thieves is hated across the entire political spectrum and it would pass with an overwhelming support if voted on by itself.
Why should the identity of their victims matter? Also, are they?
