I think youngsters in EU countries are just as poorly provided. This isn't merely an American thing I'm trying to get over.

It's a generational thing. Kids are buying bleep machines and budget WS's.. Why? Because the don't come stuffed with foxtrots, bossas and 50's Rock and Roll arps! I guarantee, were you to fill up any of the keyboards they currently DO buy with a ton of granny arps and styles, they would no longer buy them, either!
