I'm saying this, and correct me if I'm wrong, because this is the main point of reference for scholars around the world and that is the point of contribution for scholars around the world (i.e. not only saudi scholars). Ask any reliable scholar and they will tell you that they refer to saudi because that is the defined place for such things;

This isn't really true, brother. People are under that impression simply because the haramain are located in Saudi. But the haramain have been under the leadership of other groups who followed different ulema before. Most recently the Ottomans. So Saudi scholarship doesn't hold any special place in Islam more than other regions.
