Irrespective of any economic or legal incentives or factors here, this comes down fundamentally to a lack of social trust in north america.
It doesn't happen the same way anywhere else in the world like it does in US&Canada.
People don't care about other people. "I got mine, ** yours."
It's a problem without an easy solution.
