One of the biggest reasons why left foot braking is frowned upon in America is the relative level of incompetence of the drivers. I notice what drivers are doing quite a bit and there seems to be a lot of people who ride the brake while they are driving. They ride the brake while going downhill instead of just letting the car coast down. I have never left foot braked anything I drive on the street. Those that do tend to panic in the US and push on both pedals, thus we have unintended acceleration accidents.
