It is literally the the world's most common musical sequence. There are lots of cultures where I-IV-V may be pretty rarely used. I had no idea that it was smug to assume that perhaps the strongest musical cadence was the most popular. Excuse me as I retreat back under my rock called "America."

Exactly what I was thinking. I'll bet 30% of popular music is I IV V As for it being western, all the examples he gave are western of Andalusian Cadence...
