Perhaps you would be happier in one of those other countries?

If all there were to a country were its legal system, perhaps. But of course that is not the case. The US legal system is an expensive, abusive mess. Fortunately, there are plenty of other good things about the country that allow one to overlook this boil on the bottom of the Republic most of the time.
And anyway, one virtue of having a messy and inconsistent legal system is that people have to pay lawyers a whole lot more money here than elsewhere, precisely because the law here is so much more treacherous and capricious. Wherever the law is clear, settled, and not prone to caprice, lawyers are relatively cheap, because you don't need them for much. The rules are clear and consistent. In the US, to do business you have to lawyer everything up, because the legal system is a casino.
