I think it's one of two reasons.
Either signing the treaty would cause politically far more internal trouble than it's worth, or the US military is either actively using landmines, or is reserving the option to use them at some point.
Either way, it's honestly disgraceful. The human suffering caused by landmines, both during and after conflicts far exceeds their tactical value, IMO.
