Because yankees are lame and don't have DVD-ROM players. :p
I was almost gonna venture a guess to that effect... the possibility that most of middle America (middle physically and economically) might still be sticking to their older machines? But... if anything, I would also figure that more and more people are buying computers nowadays, with the majority of computers probably having been bought in the past 5 yearsish or so... so haven't DVD-ROMs pretty much come pre-packaged with machines since then, or even earlier? I would say that in the last 10 years, no? And more recently DVD burners being the new standard.
On the flip side... how do you rude peons :P afford shiny brand new 'puters what with your huge taxes and nearly double the price in goods, considering everything awesomesauce really comes out of this here Yankeeland. :D Must be all the money you save on not tipping. ;)

If I were to guess, I'd blame it on Dell, Gateway, and other inupgradable prebuilt machines, which you find apparently a lot in the US.
Here it's far more common to get boxen that can still be upgraded.
Tipping: Feh :p They doubled all prices with the bloody Euro, so I'm not tipping anyone.
Sleepycat:
I blame it on the prebuilt computers and the maxis survey that asks if your computer has one :P
My main (custom built) computer has 2 dvd burners 8) my other (custom built) one (that my daughter gets to use) has 1 dvd burner and 1 cd burner, cd burner was needed because my ancient prebuilt computer couldn't read the burned dvds.

Untrue!
I have a CD/DVD drive with Bluray capability. So, nyah.
But, yes, all Sims games I have ordered here are still on CD.

I remember reading a lot of complaining when the first expansion that was DVD-only for Europe came out. Some people bought it and didn't realize that they couldn't play it until trying to use it, some upgraded their computers, and others did without. If they are only going to release one type of disk, I'm surprised that they'd choose the one that will limit their sales.
If we're doing a survey, I'm a US citizen and three out of four of my computers have DVD drives. Number four is an old one and can't run the Sims 2, but it has all my old Sims 1 stuff still installed.
