It's overwhelmingly American testers so because Americans are mostly British and Irish these populations are catered for very well in genetic tests. MyHeritage still has a large amount of American testers but they are getting a reasonable amount of European testers which is why you will get a lot more European matches than with 23&Me, Ancestry etc. FTDNA appears to have a lot of British and Irish testers due to their monopoly on ydna, other countries dwarf in comparison. Many areas of the world are very under-represented in dna testing which is why dna companies don't really concentrate on those areas. The majority of dna testing is geared to Americans who want to know their recent ethnic background. Their is a lot of untapped areas for potential dna testing if you look at places like India and China.
What you have said in your comment in spot on.
