In the US it appears to be a generational thing.  For starters the younger generation needs everything they believe externally validated, I blame social media.  And secondly they want easy solutions.  Instead of people fixing the problem we want corporations to make it easy and fix it for 'us.'  Add in people being unable to accept when they don't get their hearts desire....  kind of a cluster.  I simply wasn't raised that way, thankfully.

I actually think this is because Americans hate government taking actions to fix social issues. In countries where people are used to see government taking social responsibility (which of course demands higher taxes) they don't expect companies commitment to do what is government problem. The average american seems to believe the state should be as small as possible, and people should take care of their lives by their own as we can see by how much USA citizens refuse to take vaccines only because they distrust state policies

Just my random observations of course 

Definitely true, which is a major difference when comparing Americans to Europeans.  "We" don't like government involved.  I agree with your observation.
