Why don't English speakers refer to a foreign nation, with the same name as their citizens do?

For example, the residents of Germany call their country Deutschland, so why don’t we? The residents of Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan.
Why are English-speakers so smug, that we have to invent a word of our own, for a country that already has a good-enough name, used by their own people?
