The UK still retains EU data protection laws whereas the US essentially never had any. Having lived in both countries, the American companies are totally flagrant in how they sell and abuse your personal data. Banks will sell your credit card transactions to advertisers, for example. The UK credit score was a reasonable and stable evaluation of my credit-worthiness based on data from my bank, but its American counterpart is a gamified setup that goes up and down randomly every month and is seemingly designed to make people take unnecessary debt. And so on.
