Main reason vis-a-vis Iran and Turkey is that most of Iranian expatriates to west are Iranian elites who fled Iran in the aftermath of revolution while Turkish migrants to EU are predominantly working class.
Upper class of any culture has a higher chance of losing their native culture as they are more easily assimilated in local culture as there is a high degree of respect among successful people for other successful people while working class has higher resilience as they are not accepted by locals and are always looked down upon which increases internal cphesion among migrant group and pining for mythological vaterland.
Iranians in West belong to different groups. what you said mostly describes Iranians in US, and not in EU.
As a summary, Iranian in different countries can be categorized in this way:
US>> 1) Pahlavi dynasty and rich people of that era, who fled after revolution 2)engineers, scientists, and educational elites who immigrated to US after revolution 3)ultra rich Iranians who got visa by investing money in US >>Upper Class Iranians
Canada>> mostly middle class who started to emigrate there from 2 decades ago >>Middle Class Iranians
EU>> 1)some rich Iranian families who migrated even earlier than revolution, which are a minority 2) political refugees, MKO, and lower class of Iranians >> mostly lower class Iranians with some exceptions
