I'd like to clarify that I never "accused" American supermarkets of having less variety. In fact, my comment was aimed at expressing surprise at hearing such an accusation for the first time. Furthermore, I honestly don't necessarily find the 2-4 times brand diversity in American supermarkets to be particularly diverse, especially when comparing it to, for example, German supermarkets. Additionally, the size of a market does not imply "more brands" but usually means more space for the same brands, which doesn't necessarily equate to a greater variety. But I honestly think U.S.S.upermarkets are great!

Well, just being someone who grew up in US and living in the EU now. As well as traveling quite prolificly throughout, I can attest (anecdotally, at least), that it does correlate to a larger brand diversity.

  Yeah, but it does not imply it.

    The point is that for all the stereotypes that American grocers/supermarkets are inundated with, lack of brand diversity/options is not usually one of them. Implications, inferences, and outright suppositions aside.
