They were honestly probably expecting people to associate the title with Isaac Newton. I'm guessing they did some focus groups and that title was more highly rated in that area since Isaac Newton is from there.

They just directly translated the Japanese title for the UK (and everywhere except North America). It's possible that focus group testing led to the dumbed down version, but it's also possible they just assumed the simpler title would appeal more to Americans.
But yeah, it is likely a reference to Newton.
They dumb down things for US audiences all the time
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
And make the characters angry in the box! US Kirby game boxes always have Kirby angry.
Physics is available all over the place though, not limited to the UK.
As far as we can tell, physics is still not available in Florida. I think they're upgrading their infrastructure to accept it soon, though.
Not if DeSantis gets his way! One of his campaign promises is to ban all physics. It's one of the biggest problems corrupting our children!
Big physics is taking over and corrupting all our minds and there hiding the cheese in vault made in the 60s
Big if true
