Very true.
When living/working in central Asia for a while I owned a Chinese manufactured 250cc which was the top end of the range in terms of engine size and the "farkles" fitted to it.
Your point is valid all over Asia. Of course, this is an enormous bike sales market which dwarfs that of western nations.
For "1st world" riders there is often a schedule involved in their trip, deadlines to be met, things to be done within a certain time frame. Basically, we all tend to be in a rush, hence the perception that CCs are essential.
