I agree that American cheese gets shat on more than it deserves (if you read the ingredients label there really isn't anything that bad added to it) but I also feel some people online overstate it's meltability and make it seems like it's the only suitable cheese for burgers and grilled cheese. There are "real" cheeses that also melt quite well while having better flavor. I'm not necessarily anti American cheese I just don't see much reason to use it over other options.
