I don’t think I see anyone else saying it: Because High School was the last school for the vast majority of people.
87% of adults graduated high school. 60-70% of high school graduates enroll in a college or university program. So that means that 52% or more of people in the US go to college. Obviously that’s massively location-dependent, but it’s just not true that the “vast” majority of people don’t go to college. It’s about half.
Maybe you’re talking about historically? But it’s been a long time since any percentage you could call a “vast” majority left school after secondary. Certainly the majority or a very large minority of Americans alive today had some college or trade school education.

“Was”. Not “is”. “In American History…”
My use of past tense was deliberate.
The initial question from OP is present tense, though. “Does.”
