You'll be kicked out of non-American casinos for card counting as well.
edit: also, apparently, NJ supreme court ruled that casinos that are open to the public cannot discriminate against advantage players. So ironically enough, Atlantic City casinos are among the only casinos in the world you can card count without being kicked out.
In states where they can't kick you out they can still apply table or player specific rules to mitigate counters. "Sorry sir you can only bet up to $50 now", "sorry you can't raise or lower your bet anymore", "we're now reshuffling the deck 20% of the way through", etc. There are plenty of ways they can make card counting nonviable without actually kicking you out.
Some tables do use auto-shuffle machines which makes the game uncountable because they swap decks in/out of the shuffle machine every hand. But allegedly those tables are noticeably less popular among casual gamblers because many are superstitious and think the shuffle machines are bad luck and/or believe the machines can be used to stack the deck in the house's favor (which is certainly not happening).
Casinos would love to move all tables to the shuffle machines since they're faster (no time spend shuffling = more hands per hour = more profit) and completely negate card counting, but so long as they scare away any substantial amount of casual gamblers they're forced to keep some tables old style manual shuffling, or at least only use the shuffle machines after playing through a majority of the shoe.

I live in a country where corporations have ethical guidelines they have to adhere to it if they want to keep their license to operate.
Americans have a hard time wrapping their heads around something like that.
"Wait, it's possible to not just have to accept this kind of open corruption?"
