Who knows...
But basically, people whose native language is English don't really have a need for second or third language. Other people, on the other hand, do. Maybe it's because we're "forced" to learn it. The fact is, without English you're nobody outside of your own country. Many jobs expect knowledge of at least 2 foreign languages, preferably English and German. I have yet to learn German, but I probably will one day. Right now I know the basics. 
(Btw, I'm far away from mastering English. But I'm very good at it, best in my class too.)
