They make the art different from the Japanese covers so that they have jobs. They need to create a different aesthetic, so they arrive at a consensus and alter box art accordingly. It doesn't reflect overall cultural differences or anything, just marketable stereotypes. If they get you to think that Americans need different box art than Japanese, they've merely secured their job.
