If you want to buy it unlocked, you have the option, but then you have to pay a ton more.

This isn't true anymore. ISPs are removing contracts in favor of non-subsidized plans. Americans pay just as much as the rest of the world now, but in monthly installments or full pay.
Contracts still exist but they are much more expensive in the long run, meaning you pay more than the value of the phone.
And Apple and Google along with many tech companies have said they be moving more operations into the US.
USA honestly deserves him
