japan just has a healthier market for entertainment
for one, there's more than 2 major publishers in manga, and the biggest one doesn't focus on a single genre with generation old ips
and it doesn't matter if a writer made something popular years ago, if they make a bad comic it just gets cancelled

american comics are far to centralized in publication, and distribution and have been for decades
this also ends up gate keeping ideas and creators from getting exposure in the industry

i'd say its best to stop being a psedou nationalist for comic book companies that don't care about you and just start viewing manga and comics as the same thing
perhaps the best bet is hope one day a webcomic gets popular enough to get a netflix show and it ends up being so popular it leads to a goldrush for webcomic ips but after that its a fruitless effort trying to fight for western comics because they're western. they do not care about you
