The fact that they are similar regardless of culture (if indeed they are and the claim is reliable) is most easily and obviously explained by the fact that we are all the same species with roughly the same physiology I don't understand why it should be surprising that we experience similar phenomena in similar conditions.
Wrong.
Physiology never meant to be a science that study our consciousness and it is our consciousness that determine an NDE or nothing at all.
If I would be God I wouldn't care less about people physiology.
All I would care is whether people are ready or not for an NDE and it is their consciousness that would tell me that.
The argument that similar brain physiology -> similar brain function is a plausible explanation for similar experiences is valid, whether "physiology explains consciousness" seems beside the point.
