Rather it was a correction of the earlier statement saying that potholes aren't prevalent in the US, and wasn't meant seriously, as I know roads in other, less developed countries can be far worse than anything we have to put up with.*

Potholes are not prevalent? Try driving on the roads in NJ and NY at the present time. Many roads look as if they were in a war zone, and many, many people are losing tires, wheels and suspensions because of potholes they have driven through.
Sure, they can get pretty nasty - I recall seeing a brief video clip on the local news within the past week or so where a disabled vehicle's right front wheel was turned 90 degrees - however, its IMO counterproductive to try to have a "who is worse?" contest, as there certainly are nightmares that crop up everywhere in the world.
That's pretty much why I characterized this as a _change_ in consumer behavior being the metric for concern, as this is locally self-normalized for whatever those local conditions are.<start rant> *-Though the way we keep putting off infrastructure repair in the US, there may come a time when that statement may no longer be operative. <end rant>
