Why Asian and Middle-Eastern languages have survived for so long using their original scripts, unlike Slavic languages?

Slavic languages were written in Cyrillic, but after a while, they started to use the Latin script, and the languages were completely split into separate languages using different scripts, now being known as Eastern and Western Slavic. However, looking at Asian and Middle-Eastern languages, we see that they are not splitting into different languages using different scripts like Slavic languages. Why did that not happen to them?

Lots of Slavic languages switched to the Latin alphabet when their countries left the USSR, for political reasons.
