Excellent observation Jay, that is true. It is that way in soccer because the World Governing body FIFA is stronger than any other world governing body in sport. I don't think the NHL would send their players to the world championships every if the IIHF mandated it, the NHL would more than likely give them the finger, same with basketball, FIBA would never be able to tell the NBA what to do.
