Much the same as saying, “If you were unemployed and homeless, you’d know how amazing this job in an Amazon warehouse is.
Look at how many people would rather work here than starve!”
Very true. And yet, there are better jobs with better working conditions. This is not to say that the USA is the Amazon Warehouse of developed countries, but you need to compare jobs to jobs, and developed countries to developed countries.

Not really, people who emigrated to certain European countries with more socialist economy try to get out of there, all my friends who moved to Europe left after 4 or 5 years, all 7 of them are in US now.
Yes, compared to the third world country you come from. But that works for pretty much any other western country. It doesn't help comparing them between each other.
