The licenses are all compatible. If someone releases something under
a US license, then someone may use that work in Germany under the
German license.
That's what all the porting is all about.

I didn't realise that. Why is that? There doesn't seem to be anything
on the CC website that pushes people to choose a 'local' version of
the licenses.
I would have thought country-specific licenses for material on the
internet just makes everything more messy and complicated. (And
instead of a site having to support, say, 4 licenses, they may have to
support 4x100s of licenses.)
