Rhetorical? I'll answer anyway...
In the context of data emissions (like we would expect on this mailing
list), it's because the USA rules are so limiting. Every new
technology is an exercise in squeezing into the old rules. This method
of packing data into an ATV transmission--which is the one exception
for high bandwidth on 70cm--is engenius.
And yes, it is no wonder most innovation takes place in other
countries given the limits imposed on lower frequency data
transmissions in the US.
