The issue comes down to imperialism imo.
Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.
This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They've been doing it for millennia, and it's been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.
It's also why non-western nation-states aren't as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It's not really a part of their ethos as a culture.
