Because our government does not subsidize megatall skyscrapers like those in Asia and the Middle East. In North America and Europe, skyscrapers are built out of necessity which is why they require tenants or residents for funding.
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, for example, has yet to turn a profit. The Shanghai Tower is on the struggle bus as well with securing tenants.
