Is there an actual plausible reason why these models aren't being brought to American markets aside from "marketing objectives"?"

It seems to me that an individual can identify themselves as an anarchist, and choose to join and associate with others who believe in a similar fashion. They could even band together to share their ideas. I think it would only become a hipocracy when the 'Anarchist Party' starts passing laws AND enforcing them on those who don't agree, don't wish to be a part of, or subject to - the 'Party'.
