Might have a wee something to do with the cost and availability of large parcels of land in and around cities in Europe versus North America. If Walmart thought this was a cost-effective approach, they’d be doing it, else they would likely be sued by their shareholders. To be clear, I am not making a value judgement on whether this should be the case.

Yeah, it is indeed a good approach for Walmart. They get to crush the competition due to their size and the economy of scale, be effectively a monopoly, and convince everyone that it’s not only logical and inevitable, and the result of something normal and good.
The question is, is it good for people who aren’t Walmart shareholders?
