We do have PCB manufacturing and assembly in the US though, it's just far cheaper and plentiful overseas so companies usually go there for mass manufacturing. The true bottleneck is the components those are barely made in the US at all.

If it's not price competitive then it is functionally useless. The only reason we have PCB manufacturing in the USA is probably because of DoD requirements and the government doesn't want to risk TS information falling in the hands of foreign adversaries. By extension these manufacturers don't give a toss about your average person, and they have insane MOQ's (10,000+) rather than PCBWay or JLCPCB where you can get MOQ for as low as 5 PCB/PCBA
