I see two reasons, first of all the stuff American supermarkets care to buy and import from here is not necessarily the pinnacle of wine culture, and secondly, German dry whites are often perceived as sour by Americans who are used to sweeter wines. It's a bit of an acquired taste
Ah you are mistaking me for someone who has at some point in their life, been to America.
I am British and although I have been abroad to France and Greece that is as far as I have ventured.
Of course the Germans may be keeping "the good stuff" for themselves and only selling shit like Blue Nun (Blech) to us brits.
This would not surprise me and also explain why I have never had a decent german wine.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
