I think that cream is common in carbonara in Britain and Ireland, but not in the original Italian version. No idea why cream got added over here. It's confusing, because now there are two different dishes called carbonara. Both are good, but they're definitely different.

The introduction of cream to carbonara in places like Ireland, England, and America can be largely due to the scarcity of traditional cheeses like Pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the simplification of the recipe. Cream was likely added as an easy way to achieve a creamy texture, bypassing the need for specific cheeses and avoiding the technical challenge of preventing the eggs from scrambling, making the dish more accessible and less technique-dependent.
