I *think* it's got to do with the prevalence of debit cards. As most people use those I imagine it was a question of there not being enough mass in credit card payments to get the charges per transaction low enough for them to make credit cards an attractive method of payment for retailers.

In Turkey it's the reverse; there I use my credit card pretty much everywhere and my debit card close to never.
