I guess it's a general trend in order to get more international success, even this very large percentage could also indicate some 
specific reasons. Anyway, I surely find it to be a pity, as it tends to make all the music (not only the language) more standardized 
and less diverse. 
A good compromise could be to sing some songs in English and some in the native language.

Maybe they play abroad and English is a language most people understand, learn in school.

Hey. Why, do you think, 99.9999% 21th century German and Dutch bands, ESPECIALLY prog, don't have vocals in their native language? Is it the harsh sound of Dutch and German? The unlikable accent? Maybe English is just more attractive (IMO it absolutely isn't). I have no clue tbh. I wish more German and Dutch rock bands would sing in their 1st language, and not English.
