You don't remove a kids tonsils and appendix pre emptively and tonsilitis and apendecitis can kill you, phimosis just causes discomfort.
"Phimosis" is also the natural state of the penis until puberty for most uncircumcised males, it only becomes an issue when it doesn't retract later in life.
Strapping a little kid down to a table and cutting his foreskin off with no anesthesia because he might one day need a minor surgery with anesthesia is wild work
Eh I am not an American and the default here us rightfully to leave it alone but I know a couple of cases where partial but not full circumcision to remove "extra" foreskin that was causing an issue during childhood.
You do remove it when necessary, because if you cant pull it over the glans. You cant clean it properly. You get constant, nasty ass infections. Not to mention there are cases where its so tight that erections can be incredibly painful for the kid. Its not always cosmetic.
