That's a false dichotomy.
Scoop & Run vs Stay & Play is just a way of describing whether to treat on scene or not. It's used everywhere (at least everywhere that has a modern ambulance service with paramedics) and the boundaries shift depending on scene, patient, skill level on the ground, distance to definitive care, transport options, etc.
The whole world has been migrating over the last ~50 years from a purely Scoop & Run model where ambulance drivers were just that - barely first-aid trained - to a model where more and more care is delivered on-scene, Stay & Play.
