The US does the same the following Motz’ei Shabbos.
This is not just a U.S. minhag. In EY they also wait until after Motz’ei Shabbos to move the clock back. A clock, even those that are battery powered, is muktzah, and it is assur to change the time on a clock until Shabbos is over.
The UK is with Israel in this case.
