I think all the comparing of US roads to European or Japanese roads isn't a good argument.
You can't really pigeon hole the entire US into one category of having rough sht roads. Same for Asia and Europe as having all 100% smooth roads. They are all big vast lands with different infrastructures per city/state/county/town.
There are some parts in Los Angeles which are rough in east, south and north LA, other parts which are "glass smooth" in west LA and Santa Monica. Drive an hour south to OC and SD and it is also different - there's some sht roads in Santa Ana and Anaheim, where as Irvine and south OC has "glass smooth" roads. Go to the east coast and it is the same - both smooth roads and really old dilapidated roads. Europe is the same, if not even more diverse (since we're talking multiple countries that have an even older history). I've seen plenty of sht roads, cobblestone roads, around Italy and Rome, London, Paris, Spain.. while some highways are "glass smooth." Japan would be no different.
