Well, Germans without a passport can still travel all around the Europe. Passport is only needed if you plan to go outside EU - that should be a factor in this comparison.

And a US passport is only needed if you travel outside of the 50 states that comprise the union.

true, but it's not the same thing

An European citizen can go to Egypt or Estonia or the Canary Islands or Iceland or Norway or Switzerland without a passport

OTOH it's easier to learn English for an European - we all study it in primary schools - and go to the US than for an American to learn Norwegian and move to Norway.

It's also a lot less of a cultural shock to go EU->USA than the other way around.
