Well they are a NATO country and need to buy NATO standard equipment. So their options for who to buy from if they aren’t producing it is limited to any country producing them that is in NATO, and potentially South Korea. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Poland's reason to decide for Korean tanks is because of technology transfers promised. They want to build up their industry to compete with the existing ones. So it's really just Korea and the US. Everything else is European, so what they consider their competition.
