It's a political issue. Some people (mistakenly) believe that the continental separations within the Americas are based on bigotry and bias so that people from the wealthier nations can "other" South and Central Americans as outsiders (though how Mexico wound up in North America if that's the case I'll never understand). In fact, they're based on continental plates - a division you may or may not agree with but it makes more sense than the divide between Europe and Asia. Outside of South and Central America, virtually everyone alive does use American to refer to people from the US. Also, some (very ignorant) people believe that all languages work like Spanish, and that USian is something an English speaker could say out loud without sounding idiotic.

Having a South American complain about Americans using the term "American" is rich since they lay claim to the term "Latin" despite the fact that there's a whole other continent with countries that are the origin point to where the term was created and yet that can't have the same claim.
