US English has a special role in IT.

For historic reasons it is the most likely to be
understood by IT people and not to be messed up by
software.

If most computers, OS and programming languages had
been invented in Israel or China, then it may have been
different. But they just happened to be invented in the
US. And therefore US English is "it" and not Hebrew or
Mandarin.
