The US has a lot of hobby airstrips. Let me explain it like this. I live in northern Fort Worth. To the south of me there is a little international airport named Meacham. To the north of me there is a much large freight airport named Alliance. Down the street from my house is a small airport for personally owned airplanes. A little more than 5 miles from my house is a neighborhood built around an airstrip for personally owned airplanes. Then of course there are the big airports that most people actually use: Love Field, DFW, Addison Executive. DFW is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world and you still have all these other airports around. Go to Fort Worth on Google Maps and search for Airports. There are some smaller airfields that don't show up even though you have all these results. Flying is extremely regulated in the US, but that regulation is not super strict unless you are flying aircraft of a certain size or carry passengers. You have to be a certified pilot just to fly drones of a certain size.
