In reality though, how are players developing and what are they trying to achieve? For the best results for your team you are going to put as much effort as possible to be as good as possible in the 1 country that you will play half your games. It would be dumb, and sub-optimal, to try and be equally good in 10 different countries when you are barely going to play in most of themThis is where the whole concept breaks down. What are we selecting for? I suppose each country's AT XI plays half their games at home, but the World XI spread its games fairly equally?
In terms of arguing about the sheer goodness of players, I reckon away performances matter a lot more; an Amarnath would probably perform better playing for any other country and a Warner worse. So their ranking differ from what their raw stats might suggest.
The best players are going to develop a technique that will be most effective at home. (Well the very best will be awesome everywhere lol but that's another thing)
