I would suggest the USA tax system and the relationship of academia to
industry in the USA are the biggest factors as to why USA has been seen
as so successful to date.

Of course large USA corporates are not above plundering ideas from
worldwide and relocating them to the USA. Not all ideas in computing
come from California. But the big USA corporates love that the world
sort of believes this.
