And why is it wrong? Either they sell and/or operate in the US - so US sales tax is paid and their US employees/owners pay their tax - or they do not, no reason to pay tax there.

The US doesn't have sales tax at the federal level.
Just to add sales tax is a State/County/Municipal thing. I just voted on a 1% sales tax increase for my county, for infrastructure, cyber security, and other public stuff.
That's something that could be easily changed.
It doesn't seem like anything could be easily changed at the federal level, especially something as unpopular as a tax hike.
