As an American, I will observe that it has the property of melting perfectly on a properly-cooked burger. Does great in a grilled cheese sandwich as well. Since we eat a lot of burgers and grilled cheeses, we find it to be a useful cheese and eat a lot of it. And nachos, which are often made with american cheese since, as you say, it melts great into a sauce.
Most Americans don't use american cheese on everything that has cheese in it, but it has its specific role.
American Cheese: the relatable cheese
If you are making burgers, i highly recommend Raclette cheese. It doesn't melt quite as evenly as analogue cheese with sodium. But AOP Raclette cheese is natural and designed to melt - and it tastes so much better than any analogue.
Some of us try our best to never eat it.
