I think, it's more the US love of capitalism that makes people think so. It just sounds on brand that someone who worships their company that much would be in the US.

And some European airports are great examples of runaway capitalism. Good luck finding your gate when you're walking through what looks like a shopping mall on steroids. No, I don't want a Burberry Armani Hermes scarf, I want a damn sandwich.

I was more under the impression it was because in developed nations, cops don't go around killing civilians for frivolous reasons. But in the US, it happens regularly.
