Possibly because that's where the explorers came from that had invented 
maps?  (As in, many people invented maps, but the europeans carried 
theirs with them while others tended to stay home?)

And in the USA, America really is in the middle of the maps like that. 
It doesn't look "weird" at all to me. Having the Atlantic in the middle 
doesn't look weird either. Having the Pacific or Russia in the middle 
would look weird.  All that cold-war stuff, I guess.
