Geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt that uses a GPS or phone app with GPS. There are over 3 million active caches around the world. Some are as small as a dime, others are big enough to walk into, all of them provide a unique adventure. We invite you to share your stories, photos, and experiences!

For example, this Traditional in Idaho has only been found once in all its 20 years.

The website uses a points system based on cache age and number of finds to determine a cache's score

Is there a reason it's US only? API limitation or just scope chosen by the developer.

Think it is a choice by the developer.

But Project-GC has similar tools here https://project-gc.com/Statistics/LonelyCaches and here https://project-gc.com/Statistics/DaysSinceLastFound. Maybe not as nicely presented as the site in the OP, but can be used for all the countries.
