And?

There is a lot of the world that isn't America...

Plenty of other countries not on the list too, what's it matter that an american airline is not specifically on the best list? You would expect due to the law of averages, there are a lot of things that an american version of wouldn't make the top, the same for any country, what significance does it have?

Not having a good airline in the richest country in the world is surprising to me.

What is a 'good' airline, and who gets to define the standard of 'good'?

A good method would be to ask some people. Skytrax ‘conducted more than 14 million customer surveys in more than 100 countries between September 2021 to August 2022 to find out the world’s current favorite airline.’

Not in the list of the best, doesn't mean that the airlines aren't 'good' or 'good enough' though. Does America need to be in the list of best things for everything?

It's just an airline. A lot of these airlines from other countries operate a lot of flights in the US, who cares about their country of origin?
