The real comparison should be the figures on Boondocking vs RV Park/Resort usage. Although our population numbers 340 million tend to make this not a level playing field too.

Big Question: Why do the Australian TT's have such Long Aframe Tongues?

The Boondocking or more Off Road Travel is massive compared to what you do in the U.S., that is why we have categories of Off Road RV's, that do not exist in the U.S.
A Crossover Off Road Caravan, Full Size Off Road Caravans, Campertrailers, Off Road Motorhomes( several builders of these)
As far the long A Frames , I would suggest it has to do with Off Road towing, I do not know myself. I do know there are about 6 different types of Off Road suspensions and as many types of Hitches.
ARB an Australlian company, that has become fairly large producing Off Road products, is the main sponsor of the various Overland Expedition events in the US
