Don’t forget that it takes a lot of expensive equipment to play.

This is the main reason imo. Very expensive to field a team and you need financial support with a good fanbase. Most foreign countries have neither.

This. Soccer dominated because any group of kids with a big ball of anything can get a pickup game going with a handful of kids. Basketball requires very little as well and very few people, so it’s globally popular.
Football is expensive, requires the most people, and the rules are complex.
It’s a sport that only works with good infrastructure in place.
