While I was in Europe I saw these Osram light bulbs. They are much better than the Chinese
garbage sold in the U.S. They are reliable and economical.

Anyone have any idea why they’re not sold here?

They are; you just haven't found them yet.

Google "A19 CFL". Sears sells them, and Home Depot and Lowe's sell the GE version. Pretty
sure I've seen the Osram/Sylvania bulbs on the shelf at Menards, too, but can't find it on their
website.
