British English is not a dialect. As for being the most commonly used by non-native speakers I disagree. That largely depends on where those non-native speakers are from. In many countries "the" English is British, with the US spelling being a movie/gaming thing. For many, the default when they go to school is British spelling and they're even told that that's "the only one correct".
Said that, what exactly are we gaining by not adding UK ?

+1. en_US the default and the most commonly used English dialect, with
en_US messages often used by people who are not native speakers. All
other dialects are mostly of interest for speakers of that dialect and
don't need to be shown by default.
