I don’t mean this as a “gotcha”, but my understanding is that in the vast majority of places where marriage doesn’t change names, the children are still always named after the parent with an outie. I just want to push back against this “western bad” meme.
Are there even many other countries besides the US that do this? aAways found it the weirdest thing.

I believe most countries in Central Europe do it. But it’s also possible to take the wife‘s name of course
They do it in other English-speaking countries for sure.
I know Romania does this
