A combination of two things, Americans are xenophobic to the max and the concept of watching something not filled with American accents, American characters and set in America is a terrifying concept to them. In fact, did you know that American TV doesn't even show non-American content and only small niche channels do?
Secondly, as you pointed out yourself, it's all about the money, money, money. Americans won;t watch a dirty thing with silly accents so the channels don't air them and the producers pay a smaller royalty fee to make a copy than to show the originals.
