Different literary trends, mijo. I assume you're speaking about the American publishing market, so Dosty isn't the best example of "why aren't Americans doing XYZ?" If you do want an idea why things sound similar, it's because MFA cancer is real and it shapes people's expectations of what modern lit should be. See: modern writing style guides.

If you want an idea of what the American editing scene is like from editors themselves, there's a book called What Editors Do: The Art, Craft, and Business of Book Editing. You can probably acquire a digital copy through the usual means.

What >>13179486 is saying (in the most obtuse way possible) is that people aren't branching out and reading and writing different things and having different experiences, so their growth as a creator is stunted.
