@quinn The number of people in this thread going "nuh-uh" or trying to rationalize it as something specific to America makes me think you have a point and some folks aren't ready to hear their country is also next on the list.

There's a frequent yet always generic "[why doesn't] someone do something" post or comment to the same effect: if you have to ask or you don't know or you aren't doing it yourself, then you're why. What you expect Americans to do is what should be happening everywhere.
