I think US culture is just different regarding ATC . Traffic density tends to be higher in the US.. There are very different interpretations of clear to land for example here and there.
having attended air shows in both places they are different too. What will happen now I am not sure in the U.S - but if it is like what happened here after the 2015 Hunter crash be prepared for a big change in terms of regulation of the shoes and the pilots flying them.
