As a Kiwi this has been a very interesting thread to read. Huge culture shock, clearly, for Americans in threaded barrels. I Wonder if it has anything to do with the difficulty and cost of purchasing a suppressor?
On the other side of the globe here in Little Old NZ, every man and his dog has a suppressor with some well known world wide brands being made here in Little Old NZ.

Simple as walking in to a hunting Shop, paying a few hundred for a suppressor and throwing it on your rifle here, nothing complicated about it.
