Yeah, I guess theres a caveat on what you define as Middle East. Villa’s partial owner, Sawiris, is Egyptian and I guess that’s more North Africa than Middle East, but point still stands in my opinion

The exact opposite is true. The vast majority of officiated matches do not have electronic line calling and the umpire has absolute authority to call it as he sees it. Also, even in the slams, the ump has some discretion over other calls like foot faults, double bounces, time violations, other code violations, etc.
