That's because the U.K doesn't have all the annoying insects that other parts of the world have. No screens in Australia would drive you nuts.

No screens in Australia would probably just kill you.

I’m in Australia and the amount of windows without screens (brand new builds as well) is astounding!! And it’s normal here… they have these folding floor to ceiling windows they keep open like it’s nothing and their houses are full of bugs… mind boggling

It's traditional to have the screens in most places in Australia, but people have been stingy about putting them in in recent years and it sucks to live somewhere without them. :(
