And Ford certainly aren't going to go by comments on a forum to determine possible demand... I. E. If they brought that here I would definitely buy one.

Bronco Sport and Maverick are on the C2 platform that is used on the Focus and Escape, both of which are made in LHD and RHD. Bronco Sport and Maverick being smaller would have been a good fit for European/UK markets, Australia and NZ could have piggybacked off this.
Bronco is built on the Ranger and Everest T6 platform. The unique design of this would have had appeal in many markets over the world and T6 platform vehicles are built in several plants across the world.
Ford are just lazy and not willing to take the risk. Ford can argue the numbers don't stack up but that doesn't explain why a multitude of other car companies that can supply to both LHD and RHD.
