Actually they do. I follow several Netflix threads on the American AVSForum, and there are people who do use smart dns services.

Apart from the advantage of accessing various Netflix regions, to get content not available on US Netflix, when Super HD streams were first introduced, they could only be accessed if you used an ISP that used the Netflix CDN. Not many US ISPs wanted to do that. But Unblock-US found a way around that and US users used Unblock-US to access Super HD streams. Several months later, Netflix changed the rules, and any ISP could get Super HD.

Americans also use a smart dns to access BBC iplayer etc.
