I think that people from the UK are generally exposed to more accents that you would consider relevant than people in the West are. Like, I'd say Americans can probably tell regional American accents apart better than they could pinpoint out accents from different countries. But I think we have to remember that the U.S. is like 40 times bigger than the U.K. Someone from the U.K. is exposed to like Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and a myriad of English dialects (not to mention that England as a big dick colonial superpower has spread its accent everywhere, it gives you a more nuanced ear to tell apart other accents like Australian, South African, New Zealand). Meanwhile the average American is exposed to like, more Americans.
