The lack of flavor is because you've never had good tofu. It's like someone from China complaining that bread is flavorless because they've only even had Wonder bread (or a similar bland, white bread)
Tofu is not a normal part of the American diet, so there is little market pressure for high quality tofu. Unless you're explicitly seeking out high quality tofu, and know what to look for, you'll only ever end up eating very low quality tofu. I've never even seen anything other than bottom of the barrel tofu outside a specialty store in the US
Reminds me of how, relatively, bad burgers and hot dogs are in Japan. Or tacos. Dear lord the tacos in Japan are so bad (unless you know where to go)
