Because it's rare for the majority of Americans to play a game outside his or her own country as they usually get their own localized versions (eg:Aion/L2/Tera/Vindictus/Maple etc). This latency lag is sudden news to a lot of new internet users but in fact it has been around since the internet was first invented.

I played Tera EU with 400ms and I watched the forums where they were complaining that if they played on the NA servers, they would get 100ms and it would be the end of the world for them.
