First, not all publishers start at the bottom. There are plenty of small start ups that produce quality material (Academic societies for example).
Frankly Indian journals are frequently cited here is because it is currently the epicenter of small scale vanity publishing. There are several factors on why this is occurring in India, but that’s another topic.
While it seems like the region is being picked on, it is only because they are easier to identity. There are much larger and well financed operations from China (for example). You would never know the country of origin because they buy domains using proxies. They also disguise the journals better and is harder to pin down for an outsider.
