Childcare is much more expensive and complicated in the US.
Also we all hate each other. The US is a country of individualists, we'd much rather be on our than in a group unless it's for purely social reasons.

I worked for a multinational company that frequently flew people in to the US offices from abroad. Many people had difficulty adjusting to how friendly and social the United States was, on average. The US norms are much more social and friendly to than many countries. I’ve even worked with countries where smiling and laughing in a work situation is a faux pas. The US is an extremely friendly and social place by global standards.
