Zoning is the most common regulatory urban planning method used by local governments in developed countries.[3][4][5] Exceptions include the United Kingdom and the city of Houston, Texas.
It can be an useful tool for sensible urban planning. It doesn’t have to be super rigid but it makes planning easier and more organized than some case-by-case basis system or not having a system at all.
It’s not at all just an American thing lol

Dude, calm down, you don’t even know what it is
I mean, it’s not a shitshow at all when it’s done correctly.
