Why dont they make waifu pillows and tiddy figures for cartoon girls like they do with anime characters in japan?
People aren't going to pay the amount needed for decent quality. Look how people react when they see the price tag on their waifu's new figurine when they are new to Buyfagging,

Because Americans are dumber than Japanese, not creepier.

Because the west likes to Pretend they at least have a modicum of decency and pride while Nip-Nong land has just given up and openly appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Happy now?
You know why.
People make them, they just cost an arm and a leg.

because nihonjin respect each others' privacy, making it possible for people to do things they're embarrassed about, with the knowledge that nobody will find out, and even if they did, they'll pretend they didn't.

Becuase America doesn't have a main stream NEET problem.
Well we do, but its more of "I can't find a job no matter how hard I look" vs Japan's "I'd rather jerk off to cartoon middle schoolers then go outside".
Because the market that would purchase that kind of stuff isn't large enough to make up for mass production costs. Anime lovers on the other hand will buy 3 copies of the same thing at a time, and they religiously buy merchandise to keep their favorite series afloat, so it's worth the gamble even though their market is probably only a bit larger in total unique numbers/customers willing to buy.
Another reason is the family friendly American image whereas anime, while still mainly meant for children, branches out a bit more with its audiences and sexualizing things isn't as taboo over there.

Someone is going to get arrested with their waifu pillow of a 12 year old girl.

Because puritans.

There is little if any of this kind of merchandise for ACTUAL kids shows in Japan. The anime you're thinking of airs very late at night intended for adults.
There's tons of body pillows made by fans, if that's what you want.
