European cell phone adoption was about on par with the US. I don't think the technology is completely to blame here.

Cell phones and wall street yuppies became a thing at relatively the same time, yuppy culture really threw work life balance out the window and changed US working culture. There was no European equivalent to the wall street yuppy.
