As an American, I would caution you not to overgeneralise as to our dislike of strong flavours. I am a lifetime fan of hot chili sauces, including the American classic Tabasco, which goes back nearly as far as your Worcestershire sauce and has been made by the same family since the 1860s. These days the American hot sauce industry has blossomed much as the microbrewery industry has.
Alas, your point has some merit, but I mainly blame the British, Irish and German influence on American food for its blandness. Flavour is mainly derived from fat -- meat, dairy and vegetable -- rather than spice.
