Myheritage probably does not have reference groups for the Americas. They probably have reference groups for Europe which is their targeted market.
 
In fact, they have some groups for the Americas. The wrong ones. Look at my results, for example. As I said, I'm 19% Native American. But I'm Uruguayan, from southern South America. The most logical thing is that I have ancestors from that area, who mixed with the Spanish and Portuguese. However, they say I have ancestors from Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America far from my country. And they probably constructed them by dividing my indigenous heritage and mixing it according to their own criteria with my Iberian ancestors, then distributing them on the map of the Americas. In other words, a fabrication from start to finish.

They do not seem that great for Greece. They have the ancestral birthplace wrong. Ancestry has a much bigger database for Greeks and is spot-on for birthplace region.

They seem to be very popular among the Diaspora Greeks of Europe and Australia. Ancestry is more popular among the Greek Americans.
