That's because Europeans view "freedom" from an individual perspective, it doesn't distinguish who is causing its infringement (e.g. boss, neighbor, government, corporation, etc). Whereas in America "freedom" exclusively means "freedom [from government]." That's why when Europeans talk about "freedom" from your boss, Americans get confused. In America if you can privatize a thing (no matter how monopolistically) it isn't a "freedom" infringement (e.g. HOAs) because that isn't what the term freedom means there. That's why corporations run rampant in the US and the citizens continue to pushback on any government attempted intervention because that government intervention is viewed as a freedom-problem but the corporate invasion is not.
