The average bridge user likely has no idea where their bridges are geographically located; they simply request bridges from BridgeDB via one of the available mechanisms, or get them from trusted contacts, and use them, without worrying about where they are. So it's not at all surprising for a bridge in the US to see traffic from all over the world.
