Why does the USA do ‘sobriety field tests’ for suspected DUIs?

When other countries (notably Europe) use roadside ‘Breathalyzer’ test machines? It seems a high-functioning drunk could get away with DUI in the US, when they wouldn’t in France or the UK?

In Germany the police is only allowed to do one testing (either breathalyzer or salvia/pee drug test) in a regular traffic stop. They sometimes do a roadside field test to determine whether you’re drunk or on drugs so they know which test to do afterwards. Been there, done that.
