Since a mile is longer than a kilometer, it's easier to misjudge how far a mile is. Most people would probably be surprised to know they already walk several miles a day.

Depends on the context. A mile of walking in the mall, is a fun day. A mile walking to the store, is a huge waste of time.

A mile is a trivial distance to walk. What you probably aren't realizing about the USA is that the place is so huge and sparsely populated, that a mile in any direction isn't likely to get you anywhere important in about 95% of the country.

I'm American and live in a little town. It's about 5 miles in length which makes everything in it in walking distance. I'm 30+ and still haven't felt the need to get a drivers license yet.

A mile is a long way to run. I can walk it no problem, but I'm usually too impatient to. if I'm hiking, I can knock out about 12 miles a day. But there's not just "my city isn't designed for walkers" but also "It's friggin zero degrees Fahrenheit out there right now, and I'm not really eager to walk the 30 yards from door to my car, much less be out in it for ~30 minutes."

I walk about two miles both ways to get to work on the daily. It's nothing to me; inconvenient on particularly cold or hot days, but hardly a long way.
