It seemed to me like she was just writing schools for different countries just for the sake of it; not because there is a story to be told for all of these schools, which is in my view, the only reason why such fictional locations should exist to begin with.

I don't have an issue with lack of story or extensive detail for everything, I'm fine with names being dropped for the sake of making things seem bigger (the original Star Wars films most famously used this a lot). But these things are being dropped into an existing world that also exists within the real world. There are apparently 12 magic schools total and 4 of them are European, which feels bizarre without additional context (I don't know if more context was added later, I never kept up with Pottermore).
