Why isn't the U.S. adopting OpenTrace? (github.com/opentrace-community)

To be clear about this question: Singapore, South Korea, and a number of other countries have either already deployed contact tracing apps based on OpenTrace, but in the U.S. we seem to be relying on an Apple and Google partnership to reinvent the wheel. At least that is what it looks like.

Can some of you security and privacy experts out the illustrate to me why BlueTrace/OpenTrace would not work in the U.S.? It is the way they implement privacy? HIPAA? ???
