>I think the issue is that Amex charges the merchants more or something. But it's just not a useful thing over here. I curse that card

At this point it’s just network effects. Visa charges more for their premium tier cards (VISA infinite/Mastercard world elite) than AMEX charges for their basic cards; but people won’t turn away a Chase Sapphire Reserve

I don't think this is true in europe where CC fees are capped (and as a result CC rewards schemes are much more limited)
