Why do shows/movies come out in different countries at different times?

Current example: Rick and Morty. With that, I noticed how that doesn´t make sense to me. I get why a show might have to be translated and dubbed first in the case of countries with other languages, but why does the UK have a later release date for US-produced shows and movies than the US? It doesn´t even build up hype or anything, if anything it just encourages piracy. Once Rick and Morty is available in my country, I will probably have seen it already. So why do producers not try to go for a global release?

It’s dumb as fuck because literally everyone I know has already pirated it before it airs tomorrow night – devaluing what they could have got for it. I would happily pay for it on prime but even that is not an option.
