I beg to differ:
Old example but still valid,
GLA-LHR: full meal service with drinks and coffee served on a 1HR 20 (?) mins flight, using real utensils, i.e. not just a paperbags, including tidying up and all the pre-landing announcements before the runway is in sight is a thing I have NEVER experienced in the USA.
A similar short trip on a US airline (IMH experience):
Hand out a paperbag with a packet of crisps and a sandwich plus a paper cup and a can of soda, collect it in another paperbag leaving a lot of the stuff which can not be collected in the first clean-up round and JUST make it back to your station before landing!
That really is not a comparison.
Maybe you are misguided?
