Why do Portuguese speakers worldwide refer to more Brazilian Portuguese than European Portuguese?

Maybe because Brazil is known to be more of a touristic country than the other Portuguese-speaking countries. So people tend to talk more about Brazil. From the language point of view, I've heard from some Portguese students that the Brazilian accent is way easier to learn and understand than the european one. As in opposite to the brazilian accent, in the european-accent, they don't open their mouths as much to speak, omit many letters while pronouncing some words and pronounce some words together, as if they were one. I'm not saying that they pronounce wrong, it is all about the accent and it's characteristics. I hope it helped ahhaha ;) Cheers.
