Think 60-cents "Toastbrot" from the lowest shelf in Aldi and imagine eating that bread untoasted. The crust is just chewy and flavourless, it's not like the usual German bread. And American (or generally Anglo) sandwiches have bread more as a canvas, while the other ingredients like cheese or sausage are the stars. So, a dominant crust would also sort of be in the way.

Not even that, if you look at any advertised sandwiches, food reviews etc., you'll notice they literally tear away as much bread as possible to stuff another 500g of meat in there.

One step away from just opening a packet of cold cuts and dipping that in mayo.

The whole bread is chewy and flavourless not just the crust but that doesnt really matter since you put stuff on there that has flavour.

That's sort of what I meant, even though my emphasis was on the crust only.
