Because Americans primarily (not exclusively) speak English. This isn't unique to the United States. British television programs like Rome and I, Claudius weren't performed in Latin. The Death of Stalin and Enemy at the Gates, both British films set in Russia, were in English.

When its satire like The Death of Stalin (which is amazing btw, I love Ianuccis writing), I get why its all in English. I think the jokes work better when its all so quick like that. not to forget that you'd never be able to make a movie like that even in Russia lol
