And human nature being what it is, there needs to be
some type of discipline on the bands as to what goes where.


Sounds like an excerpt from a religious catechism!

Is "human nature" different in the USA? For that matter, is "human
nature" different between 1.8 and 2.0 MHz, where US hams themselves
provide the "type of discipline" to sort things out without FCC
micromanaging it?

While human nature is the same, the higher number of hams means you will see
more of it.

160 meters has the self limiting factor of the size of workable antennas.
Many hams simply can manage to get anything reasonable in the air.

And the European system of self imposed band plans doesn't work as well as
you seem to think. Just listen to them during one of their European
contests. They are supposed to follow the band plans but don't since the
rules generally only suggest they follow the band plans rather than
requiring them to do so. They are every bit as bad as the US hams.
