I've heard the U.S. being diverse as an argument before, but I don't really follow. Although, I can totally understand the political climate being such that getting it implemented would be impossible.
There's a company that copies the Finnish baby boxes and sells them to people outside of Finland https://us.finnishbabybox.com/ https://us.finnishbabybox.com/ I think they deviate a bit from the offical one (you can choose genders where the article says the official boxes are all neutral and theirs includes bottles). They ask what time of year your baby is due and how harsh your climate is so the clothes are appropriate and the right sizes. What else might vary? They also offer a cash-out option, which should cover any individual's concerns.
There's also no reason it couldn't be a county or state program.
I know it's not as comprehensive as the baby box, but hospitals give free samples to new parents (I assume from companies trying to hock their goods).
