It's simple really. Most of those countries have cheaper labour costs (and/or no labour laws) which equals higher profits. Even if the company is "American", it's all always about the bottom line. If the product was made in USA, then profit margins would be very slim because of the higher wage rates and Unions would give them too much grief.
Besides, consumers are more price conscious than patriotic. Most people will buy the cheaper item. We as consumers have so many products to choose from because the world is now a global economy. I buy whatever product I feel suits my needs, regardless of where it's made or how much it costs.
Before anybody tells me that I should only "buy USA/CANADA", look around at your own belongings and tell me if everything (or even most things) you own are made in North America. I haven't looked at anything else, but I know 100% of my computer and peripherals were not made in North America.
