Is every light in the US a drag race ?

Then you perhaps aren't thinking about the situation, or don't drive where lights are timed. If you're at a light on a stretch of road where the lights are set for say 30 mph, then you need to get up to 30 mph as quickly as possible after the light turns, otherwise you miss the timing and get stuck at the next light, and the next after that...
Likewise, if you are entering a freeway, and can't (or don't) accelerate to match traffic speed before merging, you're creating a hazard.
And if you don't get going when a light turns green, you're delaying everyone behind you, which is inconsiderate.
