I don't think it has anything to do with a halo around Asian companies. Bambu and Creality are both Chinese. I've used plenty of Prusa, Ender, and Bambu printers, and this is what I've found:

Bambu: break the least. That's it, that's the whole secret to why everyone recommends them. Sure, the print quality is good, and there are some nice QOL things, but they took off because you can hit print and expect to get a print.

Prusa: These are mostly reliable. Not as reliable as Bambu. The Prusa printer I have right now has had two fatal malfunctions over the years I've used it, both of which were due to design flaws Bambu printers don't have. They are making a lot of progress, and I hope they catch back up.

Creality (Ender manufacturer): No one should buy Creality products. They are worthless. Everything from the lowest bargain-bin Ender 3 to the latest K2 Plus will break and might burn the building down.
