Why the Ryzen-7 5800HS?

I pre-ordered a Zephyrus G15 recently and, after reading reviews and looking on Reddit and various other places, it would seem that the version of the RTX 3070-equipped one that we're getting here is equipped with the Ryzen-7 5800HS rather than the Ryzen-9 5900HS that they're getting over in the states.

Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Why are we getting shafted with (slightly) inferior CPUs when the price that we're being charged is objectively much higher; £1899 vs $1799 in the US, which translates as roughly $2600 at the current exchange rate!? It feels like a bit of a slap in the face.
