I would assume due to operating costs. The way you integrate regional lists with each other is to have some of your scouts cross over and scout other regions. Getting your Euro scouts to see enough of NA or getting your NA scouts to see enough of the Euros is very expensive because you're talking a lot of cross continent flights. CSS probably doesn't have enough of a budget to do these cross continent crossovers.
