Why didn't bidets catch on in the United States?

Maybe my house has crazy water pressure (I’m actually pretty sure it does). The $25 Amazon bidet I have will strip paint if you crank it up. It has no trouble at all getting you completely clean- a single wipe to dry off is all that’s needed. No marks on the paper. My wife has a travel bidet and it can’t clean anything like that, and I don’t see how the pitcher version could either. I’ve used a standalone bidet at a rental house and didn’t like it; the toilet seat version is the best way.

If I had a warm water version I’d use it, but the cold water is no problem. It doesn’t get that cold here though.
