I think you got it backwards.
The question you should be asking yourself is why did so many Americans supported and even applauded the idea of murdering a CEO of a medical insurance company.
You barely get this level of reaction from condemning sadistic murderers with the death penalty. But when it happened to a specific CEO of a specific healthcare company, you saw a wave of popular support across the US.
Why do you think regular working people leading regular working class lives enthusiastically applauded it?
