Except that as a english speaking non american, this happens literally all the time with ecommerce?
It's not until I get to checkout I realise they do not ship to my country or want to deal with me.

International shipping is an entirely different subject. You can assume that .com is American unless otherwise indicated, and that you'll need to check shipping policies. Just like as an American, when I go to a .co.uk ecommerce site, I have to check whether they ship to the US.
> You can assume that .com is American unless otherwise
Why?
American exceptionalism.
Because the internet was invented in America so it's the only country where a country suffix was never used from the start of its popularity.
I'm not saying this is good or bad or justified or not, just saying what the conventions are.
