I've heard and read the same. I noticed this review of studies which seems to indicate benefits are not as strongly present as word-of-mouth reputation may indicate.

“American toothpaste manufacturers would have been all over it.” What’s the incentive to disrupt the status quo unless you can capitalize more than your competitors? And incurring the enmity of the secret society of dentists and hygienists. Hehe. Dentistry makes me crazy.

  Companies have teams upon teams of people desperate to justify their continued employment despite existing products being more than adequate. See: constant UX redesigns, 3-blade razors.
