Because you’re biasing the diagram by deliberately excluding data. You could have excluded the best. Or the worst. Or some in between so two look close together but aren’t. Or it could look more uniform than it really is. Excluding data and not being transparent and upfront with is, is skewing things.
Do I need to precise that my post was a /s ? It was ! Actually already 2 comments are saying that US is missing, so I joked about it and about the fact some said this is biased because countries are missing
Actually there is all the source given in the picture itself, if a country is missing, maybe check the data before complaining about people hiding things to you; maybe the data itself does not exists for the country you think is missing
Something like All european countries with a population > x
Even that isn’t quite it. I mean, Russia’s got the largest population in Europe, and it’s not in there. Turkey is the second-most-populous country with territory in Europe, though the bulk of that is outside Europe. Ukraine’s not in there.
It’s like “some but not all of the EU plus some other countries in Europe, like Serbia and the UK”. They’ve got Estonia and Latvia, but not Lithuania, which isn’t something that I’d expect to see too often.

Excluding the US in a chart subtitled “European life-work balance” is bad, noted
At what point did they ask about the US?

Oh god… of course that’s the goal.
The life-work-bias!
Your intention doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t change the fact that the visualization is intransparent.
It’s not even all EU members.
Just state what you are showing. That’s all we’re asking.

This is hilarious.
Holy shit you’re insufferable.
