I thought this actually but american cheese actually has one thing on cheddar and that's meltability. There is a sandwich shop I love that puts american cheese on a few of their hot sandwiches and it works so well because it adds a texture that cheddar doesn't. There are other gooey sticky oozy cheeses but they all have a lot of flavor. So if it a dish that you want a melty cheese texture without a lot of cheese flavor ... American cheese actually works

You're trying to tell me cheddar doesn't have melt-ability? Provolone? Swiss? Havarti? Emmental? Colby? MOZZARELLA!?
Those cheeses melt, but American cheese when melted almost becomes like a spread. The only thing comparable is like a brie or camambert
You could skip a few steps and use easy cheese or Velveeta. Or even creme cheese.
i like cheese to hold some shape even after heating. i hate melty gooey cheese. american cheese sucks
