But none of that has anything to do with why none of the confederations use the same qualifying format and why UEFA uses theirs, why UEFA nations haven't changed it so it favours the big teams.

Do you mean why UEFA doesnt have multiple rounds? Weed out bottom 25 teams in Round 1? I think it's financial. They little teams like a big team coming into town every cycle.
