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.
