Americans pretending other countries don't have their own currency.

.com is a US commercial web domain. It makes sense for currencies to be converted to USD for a primarily US intended audience.

No, .com is an international tld and you can convert prices while still listing the original like any other countries news source would do.

You're right about their first argument, but it is indeed a primarily American audience.
