This is an oddly specific misconception. Where do you get that idea? It's fairly standard here for showers to have either a detachable head or separate wand. Cheap hotels and rentals might have shitty showerheads, but that's definitely not specific to the US.

    The current style trend is one that tends toward installing wall and ceiling shower heads in the US. I confirmed it with my friend who is involved with design and distribution of bathrooms fixtures. Tubs are out, tile showers with fixed soft water heads are in.

    I wouldn’t be able to tell you about many other countries without offering information about myself that I’m not interested in spreading, but some countries are nearly 100% handheld. The gap between trending away from and near-ubiquity is pretty visible
