It's not difficult to understand. If you're targeting a mainstream demographic in the US, then any domain name that isn't a .com is basically worthless. Among the non-tech-savvy, many will not even recognize "example.us" as a URL, and even the tech-savvy will sometimes forget and type "example.com", which means that you need to buy the .com as well.
So buying the .us domain in addition is basically just paying $4/year so that you don't look Americentric... in the rare case that somebody even notices.
