They didn't change it. Only usa recognizes it as such. That's like me saying your name is now Tony. Doesn't make it true. Unless your name actually is Tony, I suppose...

Not even most of US accept it as such.

That's so backwards. Your name is whatever you say your name is. What is written in a government database isn't your name, it's an opaque identifier.
