I don't think any of those are going to ever work in America. America has practically perfected "pretending like something you should feel bad about never happened".
Anyway, any form of accountability that takes the form of "the person hopefully acts better" is not scalable. The only thing that is sustainable is a system by which the external world can hold the person accountable, by something approximating force: either the ability to compel them to change their behavior, evict them from the enterprise, garnish their profits, or arrest them.

I think the question we should be asking isn't "why does it work there" and instead "why DOESN'T it work in the US?". Maybe it's just because the US economy has been strong for some 80 years and the individualistic culture used that position to invest in any and everything that could possibly be "the next big thing". Ideas (and clout) over anything else.
