ELI5 why Japan gets bonus tracks on music albums but the rest of the world doesn't.

I've noticed this overwhelmingly in the electronic music scene among others, but i've never managed to find out why.

EDIT: Apologies to those who think this should be on askreddit, it was late and i wasn't really thinking about where to post when the idea first came to mind.

Japan adds bonus tracks because it would be cheaper to import CD's than actually buy it in their local community. Thus, they add more music so that the buyer would have an incentive to actually buy it in Japan.
