This is not because we don't tip in (parts of) Europe that "it made no sense". These are just minor cultural differences.

In the US, you pay for your meal + tax + 15% tip and call it a day. It's really not that different once you realize that the price you're going to pay isn't the one that is advertised on the menu.

Yeah, I think this is what Europeans have such a hard time with - why should you pay more than what the sticker says. In US we accept that more readily, because the combined price: sticker + tax + tip is still smaller than what an official sticker price would be in say Europe, and you get more for the same price, you get the chance to reward someone.
