I have been through a lot of airports around the world and the US ones are mostly pretty nice and diverse in character. Definitely no worse than Europe on average in my experience, and I’d argue a bit nicer. The major airports in Asia are consistently relatively nice, though the drop-off to second-tier airports can be a bit extreme. I’m not sure how you could come to the conclusion that the US has terrible airports. LaGuardia, the subject of the article, is famously among the worst airports in the US. It stands out because it is so notoriously awful, and travelers avoid it for that reason. It is also really, really old.
