Simple, to get coverage in the US you have to play politics with the big telecos. If you don't need that headache, why not avoid it?
In most European countries you just buy the phone and the SIM and off you go. Some of the practices of American service providers are actually illegal in other countries.
Sorry to break it to you, since apparently hadn't noticed before, but when it comes to mobile devices, Americans are used to paying more for less.
