From the place page:
"In most Western countries, the status of a location (whether it is a
city/town/etc.), is decided by the government, and is not a function of
size. ***But most OSM communities of those countries have made a convention
to use the population to decide which place tag to use, to ensure a more
common way of tagging across the globe, and not to end up with cities of
1000 residents for example.***"
I looked for and couldn't find anything stating that this was the US convention.
It’s an OSM convention.

Is there some reason it would need to be repeated over and over for
every country?
I recognize the idea of American exceptionalism, but come on!
