Because UK vendors (major shrinkwrap vendors anyway) rarely regard a
US licence (even if that's itself legal) as qualifying for their
upgrade pricing on a new UK version.
That said, UK vendors are often far less generous anyway on upgrade
pricing for their "official" UK versions, compared to the
corresponding US vendor on US versions. Not to mention "pound per
dollar" pricing that puts a 100% price premium on UK versions of US
products.
