It's because Microsoft sent lobbyists to all the 3rd world countries governments' warning them how much accepting a Linux-based system would cost them in lost future deals, and so all the governemnts demanded XP.
Or, as an alternate theory, most of the 3rd world countries already pirate Windows, so they might as well all use compatible software.
