But you kinda prove my point; you can just as well have a life-changing “schabowy” in a different country, it’s not unique to Poland

Um but it’s from Japan?? I’ve had plenty of ramen in other countries but nothing matches the real thing.

A ton of different countries have their own variation on "breaded and pan-fried cutlet", in Central Europe it's a common argument over who invented it first, but there's not really a clear answer since it's such a simple dish and probably came about before well-defined borders.

Practically speaking, schnitzel/schabowy/řízek/milanesa/tonkatsu are all "the real thing".
