Most Americans are spoiled by shooting a their rifles from a benchrest position. Hence the poor stock design of American rifles!!!
Yep. I would say handicapped rather than spoiled - the reason our rifles look like they do - dead straight combs, no drop at heel, fat-thick-flat foreends, hilariously overpowered scopes, is because the rifle will fire 500 rounds at the range off a bench at a paper target for every one it fires in the woods. I don't consider this a step forward in the history or riflery.
