America is a capitalistic country where companies are all about maximizing profits. Companies do something called lobbying to help influence laws in their favor, because they have the money to do that but we as normal people do not. Creating laws that give people these rights, like paternal leave, would mean that these businesses won’t make as much money, because these types of benefits take their worker bees away from work and would disrupt the flow of their money.
