Basically, you are ok with only the US influencing the rest of the world?

Because the US has control of the DNS root zones, is powerful enough to create a chip ban on China and has back doors in half the planet's machines through programs like PRISM or systems like IME. I think from an influence point of view, they are quite powerful enough.

Given the US also went to war with Irak despite the entire UN voting against it and while lying about WMD, have a mass spy program on their population, and will soon reelect a convicted felon, it's a good balance to have other parts of the world trying to have a say as well.

The human world is full of imperfections, but we usually average it at scale.
