Would it be the training provided? The professionalism/ideology held in aviation? Comes down to the person?

Thank you
Clearly you're not referring to practice in the USA.
More seriously, it's safety. Using ICAO standard phraseology gives a better chance of everyone understanding each other, including people who use English as a second or professional language.
Also with the increasing use of CPDLC, voice comms are gradually reducing and most datalink messages are preformatted to ICAO standard, with limited freetext.
