I'll preface this by saying I'm a HUGE fan of winter tires, so I'm not going to defend the use of all-seasons. But, all-seasons are popular because large portions of the US see little to no snowfall. The states of Texas, Florida and Louisiana alone are basically as large as Germany and France combined. That doesn't take in to account about 10 more states that don't see much for winter conditions. About 10 more might see winter conditions on just a few days per year.
