I would guess the reason is because the Ford chassis can handle the added weight the slide provides. Aussies have some odd building considerations, namely the extremely fine sand that requires rigs to have some mechanism to keep positive pressure inside them to keep that sand out.
There is also the fact that Europeans tend to sleep in their rigs, and "live" outside, as opposed to the modern US trend of having the rig be a portable home with all the amenities. For example, they are used to small refrigerators since they tend to buy in local shops on the way, as opposed to hitting Tesco/Wally World and stocking up for a few days.
I do notice that people use add-a-room extensions to European rigs, essentially walls to an awning or additional tent rooms. I'm guessing this is what they do instead of slide-outs for the most part, as it gives them more room.
