I think it's just that there are more examples of Hollywood movies and American TV shows with characters claiming to speak fluent X than in other countries' media. I've certainly heard badly accented English in German and Swedish movies, but it's usually used as a lingua franca rather than passed off as two fluent speakers conversing.

I guess most American creators are unaware that English is the most common lingua franca at the moment? Outside of spy shows and movies or movies set in another time period, there usually isn't all that much reason to pass off an obviously non-fluent speaker when accented English could be used.
