This makes sense because gov is anglocentric and would make the URLs sound weird in non-English countries.
There’s no reason they couldn’t have picked a different second-level suffix. Spanish-speaking countries use e.g. .gob.mx, France uses .gouv.fr.
And overheid.nl is their government site for that reason.
