Why does the West take Eastern concepts and market them as their original ideas?

For example, power rangers was clearly taken from Super Sentai, the first OS was made in Japan, but the American government snuffed it out, so that they could take the credit, what are some others? I'm thinking it is money, however, in a time where we are trying to give different societies a reason to strive for more (and sources of pride), I think that credit should be given where it is due.

Individuals and nations all over the world do this. It's dirty business but a form of doing business nonetheless, and as long as they can toot their own horn and make their buck they don't care.

The first O\S made in Japan? I'd like to see some source material on this, please.

First GUI OS, sorry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Kernel

Read the history.

Do you suppose the U.S. wanted control over the O/S in order to put spyware on everyone's computer? Maybe that is why Microsoft is so keen on getting everyone switched over to Windows 10. Enough to give it away ;)
