Population density is the key factor. Dubai has 2,630 people per square mile while the US has only 97 people per square mile, using 2023 estimates.
The cost of creating infrastructure in a city is far, far less than in the country. This is why there is a Universal Access Charge for phone service, everyone helps subsidize phone service in the middle of nowhere.
