Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland all have a single “nations” local news programme (instead of regional news) and a “nations” radio station (instead of local radio as in England). Arguably this is partly due to population size.
They get other services which English regions don’t though, such as BBC One and BBC Two opts and some extra radio stations - BBC Radio Cymru and Cymru 2, for example.
It’s just how things have evolved over time, I think, and not part of a deliberate strategy. It’s not like somebody sat down in 1950 and said “let’s set things up like this”.
