As a European I'm... sort of not in love with the idea of that. I'd try it, though.

American "cheese", the individually wrapped kind, is pretty useful in cheese sauce. Maybe not something I'd use on its own.

    As an American, I will observe that it has the property of melting perfectly on a properly-cooked burger. Does great in a grilled cheese sandwich as well. Since we eat a lot of burgers and grilled cheeses, we find it to be a useful cheese and eat a lot of it. And nachos, which are often made with american cheese since, as you say, it melts great into a sauce.

    Most Americans don't use american cheese on everything that has cheese in it, but it has its specific role.

    If you are making burgers, i highly recommend Raclette cheese. It doesn't melt quite as evenly as analogue cheese with sodium. But AOP Raclette cheese is natural and designed to melt - and it tastes so much better than any analogue.
