You probably always had cultured butter.  Or your taste buds can't

Google's AI tells me:
"In Australia, "sweet cream butter" refers to the standard type of
butter, meaning it's made from fresh, pasteurized cream and is
considered the most common butter available, similar to what is found in
the US, UK, and many other countries outside of mainland Europe;
essentially, it's just plain butter made from fresh cream, not cultured
cream."

I imagine cultured butter was more popular in the U.S. prior to
refrigeration.

I had way more butter in the Netherlands than in Australia and my AI
acquaintance says this:
"The type of butter typically produced and consumed in the Netherlands
is unsalted sweet cream butter, which is not cultured."
