My friends and I came up with a reason why there were so little magical schools in non-Western countries. It's because it's very in-character for the British to create one centralized school for each region without any regards to the diverse and unique cultures in each one.
So naturally you get one Asian magical school that is meant to house every Japanese, Chinese, Korean, SEA, Polynesian, and South Asian into one school.
The thing is that those arent the only schools, they are supposed to be the elite ones (yes, even with the high amount of routine child endangerment and almost death, hogwarts is a fancy elite school)
They have a bunch of smaller ones and people being homeschooled, it doesnt show up because the UK wizarding population is very small. Hogwarts has like, around 300 students and almost everyone is related in some way.
If anything, the real magic is how tf they didnt collapse under their own genetic bottleneck considering they hate both uk-born non witches, uk witches who are poor and foreign witches in general.
The scene of Clortho slamming the staff at the students throwing magic at each other in the hall always felt like something in-character for Filch to do if he wasn't a Squib.
"Now KNOCK IT OFF! All that stupid-ass, grab-ass, and touchy-feely bullshit. Goddamn. I toldja they was rotten!"
