Is it a cultural difference? Is it just the bigger market for it? Socialized health care? Century old masonry? Rich food? Why? Why? Why?

The answer to your question is "bigger market for it" and even "way bigger market for it". I remember reading in interviews that even in their glory days the main market LucasArts relied on for their adventure games was Germany. They even scrapped one Indiana Jones game that went too much into the Nazi thing because it would get banned or terribly age restricted in Germany so it wouldn't be profitable.
So Europe has kept adventure games alive even when the biggest companies making them were American.
