It's really a western thing. Chinese like crowded pages with lots of functionality, they must feel very 热闹!!! The west prefers more distribution of functionality with simplicity so doing one thing is much more appealing to us.

But when I was visiting Italy and Greece, I noticed the sites most people viewed were also very crowded and busy.

Yes but not by choice. Besides, I've been to both Rome and Athens and didn't find either to be oarcicularly crowded compared to a Chinese tourist place.
