Maybe break down by gender could be related to how accessible technology is to genders based on barriers like sexism and gender-based hostility? A bit like how IT jobs have less women (despite things like the first programmers being women and it originally being a "woman's job"), non-binary folk and tend to be male-dominated? You have to ask why something that shouldn't have a gender bias is gendered. In this instance, I would be looking at why there's a difference between Western/W.E.I.R.D. countries and Indonesia - what in Indonesia is making it more accessible to women when the reverse is true in countries known to be hostile to non-males in the technology world.

(Possibly I have way overcomplicated what I'm trying to say lol but I'm a bit sick at the moment so not easy to think through a woolly head).

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Also, what's "W.E.I.R.D." mean in this context? I've never seen that acronym before.

It's used in academia, especially social sciences to represent the demographic usually studied: western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic.
