The West has done more study on these religions than their native practitioners ever did. We're solely responsible for reviving several of the world's major traditions.
Most Buddhism was so diluted by syncretism is was basically extinct until Western scholars applied historical methods to the surviving sources and extracted orthodoxy from the decaying ruins.
But that's just the scholarly end. They aren't the ones practicing. The Westerners who practice Eastern religion just hate Christian morality and want to subvert it, and the powers in these foreign religions aren't relevant enough here to stop them from turning it into a butt sex cult.
