From a safety standpoint I much prefer the USDM or the JDM units. This gives me 4 tail/ brake lights as opposed to only 2 on the EUDM. I feel much better travelling to know if I ever had a rear bulb burn out, I had 3 left and not just 1.

The reason is that a rear fog light is mandatory in many EU countries (Germany's TUV, for example). Front fogs are not.
The reason for the front fog delete is back in the 1990's Germany's TUV forbid ancillary fog lights to be mounted above the bumper.
The SVX design put itself is a funny situation. They designed the front clusters with fogs... so they had to delete them, to comply. And they had to design a rear cluster with rear fog lights... They left it up to the buyers to install front fogs.
