United States unlike EU is one big market, with one unified language and standards, and I believe this difference is a huge reason (the reason?) why US has so many large startups and corporations. Also one might think that the existance of large companies like Apple points to a deficit in executive/governmental branches.

The big reason is US prioritizes big business and makes conditions most favorable to it, even at the expense of the society.
