Why do most powerful, violent tornadoes seem to exclusively be a US phenomenon?

Like, I’ve never heard of a powerful tornado in, say, the UK, Mexico, Japan, or Australia. Most of the textbook tornadoes seem to happen in areas like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. By why is this the case? Why do more countries around the world not experience these kinds of storms?

because we drive on the right side of the road. The vortex when cars pass in this orientation combined with the directional spin of the earth create countless mini vortexes that under the right weather conditions are pulled together to create tornadoes.

I remember being told some horseshit along these lines back in grade school. Its fun to argue this as if I actually believe it.
