In the US, you are sometimes given the option to opt-in to a handoff, especially if the package is valuable. Delivery engines like Amazon typically don’t do this because of how incredibly strict delivery quotas are, but I know at least UPS and USPS allow it.
Of course, UPS and USPS drivers also have qoutas, so if you don’t get to the door I within a minute, they take the package back and try to deliver it the next day.
I think what you’re experiencing is more just a consequence of increased package delivery use rather than anything inherently to do with Americans(unless you consider getting packages delivered a uniquely American characteristic).
