I think because for most Americans their home is their single largest asset - usually their only one with any resale value. So they jealousy guard against anything that might reduce the value, like a neighbor who does anything out of the blandest, most ordinary things.
So glad that we don’t have those here, its your house, you should be able to decorate it as you wish as long as it doesn’t get to a point of harming others. Generally that would be health risks or blocking out the sun for others. So no 2m pile of fish guts allowed.

Why are HOA so common? I only read about how annoying and sometimes borderline illegal they act

… or a neighbor who does something that actually reduces resale value in the neighborhood.
I think we’re agreeing. I mean, if your neighbor paints their mailbox with a rainbow then that’s something that will make your house harder to sell.
Also houses with an HOA are worth less money.
Ah, freedom!
