Nah, afaik actual cheese ( fermented milk ) isnt legal in the usa, right? Reason why things like cheddar and this thing is so popular afaik
What about cheddar do you think makes it not "actual cheese"?
Yes actual cheese is legal in the US. I'm not sure where you heard that, but that is nonsense.
Fresh cheese curds are one of my favorite foods.
Just a quick google :

And a few more. What i did see is that there are cheeses that have the bacteria, and arent proccessed stuff, that can be seen as cheese that are made in the usa, like some brie types ( today i learned! ) However, cheddar and this is not cheese. They are processed and do not contain the batercia that european cheeses would contain ( FDA doesnt allow them )
Europe is not the defining central authority on cheese, and I don't believe your links are entirely accurate. They state I cannot by roquefort cheese and not only can I, I do.
Here's a link to it at my local large-chain grocer. https://www.kroger.com/p/societe-roquefort-cheese/0028647710000
