There's no real explanation to be honest.

It was just originally released for the Japanese audience.

Though, there are advantages to being behind JP. Global players are given some form of clue what's upcoming, and they can plan ahead. I.E: "What Banner is worth it", "should I pull on this"?

Plus, Global has had it's fair share of advantages over JP, such as first dibs release on LR Broly, early release of SSB INT Vegeta and the Kid Buu event dokkans, and the Goku Black buff.

Yeah, it's annoying seeing Japan getting stuff ahead of us, but it does help some prepare.
