Not necessarily with some proper regulations for accreditation etc. Getting a PhD in STEM in the US is not trivial.
You're only looking at it through the lens of the top universities in the US. There are a few thousand universities in the US and the quality and ease of graduation varies a lot, even with accreditation.
