Which is why bank to bank transfers are so easy in the US.

I wouldn't say that transfers are easy in the EU.
My bank requires me to fill in a paper form, scan it, send it by mail, wait a week, then get an answer (often, "no, give us more details") if I want to send money in another country. Neobanks tried to solve this for lower amounts, but will freeze easily your account for "AML" if you send low six figures.
