We lack the population density that other countries have. For general scale, Germany is a bit bigger (land size) than the state of Georgia. Georgia has around 11 million people. Germany has 85 million. It’s extremely difficult to build cost effective infrastructure that doesn’t bankrupt a municipality because not enough people use it to cover the costs.
It’s far easier to convert people to purchasing EVs or some alternative fuel vehicle.

Fyi Germany is roughly double the area of GA

Even at double, the population density still holds. GA doubled would be 22 million vs 85 million. I could have chosen Montana, which is slightly larger than Germany. They have just over 1 million inhabitants.

Yeah your point still stands for sure, just wanted to throw it out there
