I don’t think it’s really weirdness or some unique cultural flaw, it’s merely that America is huge and you functionally don’t need to care about the rest of the world if you live there as an average person. The same is largely true in say, China or India. Australia is a small country far away from most places so it’s natural that it is forced to integrate more.
