I agree with you. People hear the English language from a lot of American films and if they are learning the language, coupled with watching US films, they find the American accent easier. What's more, rhotic American English (but not Scotish) is esier to understand at the beginning stage. And finally, Present Perfect tense is hardly heard in informal American English. Now I expect some to disagree with me though
