Because the number of people/households who consume equal amounts of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream seems limited. And I don’t think there’s much to be gained by eating all three at once. Therefore it seems like something that has very little utility, so I’m surprised it would spread. Plus I can’t say I have any knowledge of it being invented outside the US, since to me it feels very… 1950s America vibe.
TBH I’m somewhat surprised to hear that it’s even a thing outside of north america.
Why though? The first recorded recipe for it was created by a Prussian.

Ah see, my friend, that is where you are mistaken.
The entire point is eating all three at once. If you don’t do it that way, your parents raised you wrong. Hehe. Scoop across, not within.
