Gently asking: why do conservative Muslims move to secular, liberal countries?

Salam - asking this sincerely because I'm trying to understand. I use a throwaway for this since my main account is for math, uni, and hobbies and I avoid religion/politics there. I'm Singaporean-Indian, grew up in Singapore, and now live in Sydney. My family is Hindu so I'm not from a Muslim background; I'm personally more drawn to spiritual ideas like Madhyamaka Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. I oppose Islamophobia and I don't think it's right to paint all Muslims as bad. I hear a lot of hateful talk - even from my own parents - and it scares me. I have Muslim friends who are wonderful people; some became atheist and others grew up in secular countries and tend to have liberal viewpoints. I consider myself liberal and support secular governance. I respect different perspectives and don't think the West should meddle in how other places are run. From conversations I've seen, some people feel secularism and liberal values clash with Islamic thought. I'm not claiming to speak for all Muslims - I'm asking particularly to those who are more conservative. If your beliefs are opposed to secularism and liberal values, what draws you to move to countries where those values are common? Why seek to live where the social norms differ from your own rather than staying in places that reflect your values? I know it's not unique to Muslims - many conservative Hindus also move to liberal countries, often for work or money and plan to return home later - so I'm wondering if similar reasons apply, or if there are other reasons I'm not seeing. I'm asking in good faith. I'm not pushing for anyone to be excluded, nor do I support racist or anti-immigrant ideas. Just genuinely curious to hear thoughts. JazakAllah khair if you share your perspective, and sorry if this question causes any offense.
