"It's literally just other cheeses molten in milk and emulsified." That's solidified cheese sauce and still made from [insert country]-style cheeses. The "making cheese of milk", the proces that produces actual cheese and flavour already happened.

I don't even hate it, I like it on a burger or in Mac and cheese. It's just not really cheese, and not really American. My question was, is there an actual American cheese?

The cream cheese is a nice one! I'm genuinely into cheeses and wondering what type of actual American cheeses there are.

Also, I find this a really funny analogy for USA culture in general.
