My guess is the research reaches further downs the 'size chain' in the US than in other markets. There is also less choice: on a five year Trustnet chart, 219 UK All Companies funds vs. 44 UK Smaller Companies; 143 North America vs. 18 North America Smaller Companies and none with the word 'micro' in them.

I recently bought a North America Smaller Companies fund (Artemis), not because I especially wanted it but as the least worst way to get some diversification from FAANGs.

Research has to be paid for. No one covers and reports on companies for fun. In 2020 around 90% of share trading activity globally was conducted in just 110 companies. 

Just fund this fund on Morningstar
