Large countries are simply harder to corrupt. There are more observers and more
mutually/peer-reviewing parties. In fact, the standards process there is more
mature and therefore more immune to corruption.
Studies were done to show that the smaller the country, the more likely it was
to have been corrupted by Microsoft. The crime index was shown too, so this
was proven sort of scientifically.
Make no mistake. It's not a question. Literally hundreds of stories of
Microsoft OOXML corruptions are well documented.
