“Ummm, ok... do you also pray for the conversion of the Hindus? Buddhists? Muslims?”

Yes. Page 552 right after the Jews: “For Conversion of Unbelievers”. Before Jews we pray “For Schismatics and Heretics”.

“maybe I’m missing something.”

Yes, you are.

“I wonder why only the Jews are mentioned in the prayer.”

Because it’s for them. Other prayers are said for others. It’s not difficult to understand. Outside of the baptized the Jews come first. That is as it should be.
