Is there some reason why people who only eat Badatz don't eat salted butter anyway, so there's no point in selling it here?

Well, I don't see how it can be a halachic issue, since they do sell it
with the mehadrin hechsher in the USA, to consumers whose kashrut standards
are presumably the same those of Israeli mehadrin consumers.   Nor, given
the size and internal diversity of the Israeli mehadrin market, and its
overlap with the USA one, can it plausibly be attributed to a cultural
difference.

What I'd really like to know is why the salted butter isn't available
in 100g packs, in either country.
