Because on the global internet, only Europeans are vulnerable to hacks. ๐
If you're going to make a database for the world, make sure the name reflect that aspect.
What do you mean "for the world"? It's being developed for Europeans, by an EU agency that is funded by EU citizens.
Software vulnerabilities affect us all, not just Europeans. Software is used by all, not just Europeans. CVE was never about an small subsection of software.
By isolating this agency to just Europeans (though its name), they are fragmenting what should be a global effort to catalogue and document the world's software vulnerabilities.
That's not for you to decide
Obviously not, else I wouldn't have named it that.
