No yeah you're totally right, Americanisation isn't real and it's perfectly fine that all over the world regional accents and dialects are losing speakers because of it. (In America too! You guys are losing your own accents and are instead speaking in varieties considered to be more "standard American").

when a british actor does an american accent everyone’s like “i didn’t even know they were british until they were on colbert.” but when americans do a british accent everyone’s like “they’re supposed to be from east cocksford but their glottal e’s are north dicksford. shameful.”
