One factor is that articles in the US set the success metrics. If market cap and total GDP matter to you then sure, US is the scoreboard leader. If things like life expectancy, health, work life balance, et al matter to you: less so.
Like others have commented I very much like the work environment in the US, and like my work. But for many, and probably most workers in the US life is very hard, especially when compared to wealthy countries.

The thing is, you need money(a strong industry and a strong market economy) to afford to give your workers all these perks. If you just write them down as laws, many investors will simply avoid setting up shop in your country, meaning the workers in those countries might have good perks on paper but they'll have to settle with much lower wages because of the much fewer opportunities available to them.
