Playing devil’s advocate, but Europe is also a lot smaller than the USA with better transportation and delivery options.
Yes, 95%+ of people in the USA don’t need trucks, but there is a larger need for them here. I can’t snap my fingers and have a lumber delivery for contractors happen in parts of the US, for example. Logistics are much easier in smaller countries.
edit: perfect example - I just helped build a structure on a mining claim in national forest. No one will deliver down a jeep road, but an F-150 was perfect for us.
