Because we didn't win the II World War... :).

(INB4 yes, that's the reference to an old joke about Lufthansa pilot in Frankfurt complaining he's forced to speak in English to the control tower)

Honestly though, English is a quite good starting language due to its simplicity, but I do hope more attention will be expended on making the technology like this trainable on other languages as well.

Simplicity!?
Maybe SyntaxNet could be trained to parse other languages.
