I suspect most Americans have annoying personal requirements like bills and mortgages to pay same as Europeans.

College students don't have these overheads, but they don't have experience either - so coding for next to nothing is a good exchange for experience and resume padding.

However, if you're an experienced developer and you work for nothing without a huge chunk of equity or ownership in the business then you're a fool. Look up some of the job offers on Craigslist - you'll be very much in demand.
