Generally speaking, things in the OSM world tend to be produced by a small group of volunteers who collaborate via some collaboration tool. There’s always far more work that needs doing than there are people to do it and because everyone’s a volunteer, no-one can tell anyone to do anything.
If you think something could be done better, the most effective way of making that change happen is to contact the people involved and ask “How can I help?”. In the case of WeeklyOSM, there are various links here that should work. Talking to the people directly, as opposed to talking about them somewhere else, is much more likely to have a positive impact.
That said, one thing that I’d expect that people would ask would be "has anyone from Korea / Scotland / wherever complained about receiving WeeklyOSM posts to that list? If no-one has, then there’s not really a reason to stop, is there?
