I think that US liability laws may also have something to do with it. In the States, J&J may be legally liable for manufacturing defects of their own and non-favorable surgical outcomes by association than in other countries. I don't pretend to be an international medical liability expert, but the USA seems to be a bit more litigious than other countries in general.
Best,
