You have a point. I myself is really trying hard to practice british accent just to develop it who knows it could be an edge to get higher band score in the ielts. You know once I applied as a customer service agent in a call center company in the Philippines and was embarrassed of the comment of the interviewer when she told me that my english has no regional influence. At that particular application, I suppose to handle a UK inbound account meaning receiving voice call over the internet. It was frustrating, really! So now I keep practicing it and listening conversation and on radio with british djs' or anchor.
