I think you're just lacking in a realization that being in the "wealthiest, most populous town in the richest county in the United States" does not guarantee you get to be the first to try new services. I don't know if living in that town means you also have any sort of intelligence, but if you didn't notice, this kind of service requires a lot of local overhead (trucks, delivery people, contracts with stores, etc). Obviously, Google is going to launch it on their home turf first.
Maybe if you move from the "richest county in the United States" to an area with more common folk, like Mountain View (sarcasm), you'll have better luck with trying products.
