They do sell in the US; it just happens to be Unlocked for the lot of them. Sure, you aren't getting phones designed for that network, but you're able to buy them outright and switch between AT&T and T-Mobile whenever you want.

They aren't offered by the main four carriers themselves though and they straight up don't work on Verizon at all. You have to pay full retail MSRP in the US and very few stores offer them online, let alone at retail aside from Best Buy, Sony themselves or Amazon. Picking up a Sony smart phone in the US requires extra hurdles when someone could easily pay less than half the price up front for an iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S8. 

 

As a Verizon subscriber, if there were a way for me, I'd get one to see what it's like.

While not exactly false, it is misleading to take comfort from only paying half up front. You're paying for the full price regardless of which route you go.

And yeah... Sad that Verizon has to be so weird with their transmission frequencies. :(
