Yeah I think it's just an acquired taste that American's don't acquire for lack of exposure. I'm American but was so intrigued after finding it so unpalatable the first time I encountered the salmiak lakrids despite people clearly liking them. I was keen on finding out if it was just a matter of getting used to it. Now I actually enjoy it and like it. I just still can't handle letting the stronger ones dissolve all the way. It's also very fun to give other Americans to try (I warn them) and see their reaction.
