Because it's not one company that's a bad actor, is every company that sells anything anywhere. So it doesn't make a lot of sense to just blame every company.
Even if the US banned single use plastic, (which would have a ton of other negative environmental effects, due to the higher carbon and water footprint) it still wouldn't have much of an effect on where most of the Plasti CI coming from, poor countries.
