Everyone starts to compare quality of live and salaries in America vs. Europe.

But you are missing the biggest point! Not everyone is working in IT. And a ton of people do not make $200k+/year.

We're in a group that is very well paid. But most are not. And for them European vacation policies or a social system that doesn't ruin you when you are ill are a big difference.

Everone working it IT is speaking from within an ivory tower.

I'd rather make £75k in most parts of the UK than $200k in most parts of the US.
