I find it hilarious that "Indian English" is a separate category

I had to split it because the sheer size of Indian audiences breaks all the metrics, and yet those videos would not be super relevant in the west as a very large percentage of the Indian educational youtube consists of various kinds of local exam/test preparation channels
Why?

IIRC Indian English has almost 250m speakers, which is in the same ballpark as what we'd call American English and has its own, distinct features as much as AmE vs. BrE.

Edit: added context

seems like you are both right
