The "place, Japan" meme completely broke people's brains and made them unable to ask seriously what is so special about Japan. The answer is perfectionism and sensitivity.
Japanese sense things that foreigners cannot sense, and when they set about a task they actually try. This is why Japan is "weird." When a Japanese person has a weird idea, they force it to work. They make it harmonize with the surrounding environment. This creates a situation where every location in Japan feels like a breath of fresh air. Everything has its own unique approach or style. Everything from the design of a storefront to the character of a hammer is unique.
Westerners, of course, are allergic to quality and insist that things be made as quickly and stupidly as possible. So every city in the West feels like a trash dump, and not a place where people live.

@ren_wen_moon@BigDickBarclay My employer paid into my pension while I was deployed and now that I'm out my healthcare only costs a hamburger and a handshake AHH THIS IS HELL
@gakamsky@BitterCRZDLoner A number of reasons, ranging from widespread Droid phobia post-war, a desire to instill patriotism in the Stormtrooper corps, and the unreliabilty of centralized command nodes. That said there were plenty of Imperial wardroid programs post Yavin, such as the Dark Trooper project.
