At Chipotle and similar chains carnitas are always offered. It is pretty easy to obtain pulled pork. But I do agree that most restos offer chicken and beef.
I personally cook with pork. I did ribs in the Instant Pot just last night, and we have leftovers for lunch today.
I also cook with chorizo bulk sausage, pork sirloin, pork chops, and bacon.
It is odd that with availability of moderately priced and lean pork, we don’t see it more often on menus.
Continuing to double down on something that is not true won't somehow make it true. Did you even read the link I posted back on the earlier pages detailing the multi varied nature of Mexican cuisine??
It doesnt really matter as I already mention latin and Asian eateries in the OP

Honestly, I don't think Americans do enough varieties of sausage. I love hot, spicy pork sausage. The only mass sausage producer that does it well anywhere I've ever lived is Swaggerty out of Kodak, TN. There are tons of sausage varieties that are popular in Europe and other places that we rarely touch.
I ate a lot of canned hams growing up. They were in steel tubs and mainly served with lunch meat. Those are basically gone. I will slice up a Clifty Farm or something like it that's already precooked, but I'm not cooking a ham from raw. I'll usually put boneless pork tenderloins on the George ForemanIor occasionally grill them out. They're lean and healthy.
I put the panko crumbs on a couple of tenderloins and pan-fried them Hoosier style after living in Indiana for three years.
A lot of people in NYC are Muslim no offense, so pork would not be available at halal restaurants which include a lot of places that are based on all-American food such as Crown Fried Chicken.
That is why, you would have to go to a culturally specific restaurant. Some people I know who aren't really Muslim or Jewish will cut out pork and full fat dairy due to these Louis Farrakhan and Dr Sebi publications on organic food.
It's weird that a lot of Americans don't eat pork but they are eating a ton of bacon, hot dogs, sausages, pepperoni, and any dry aged meats.
Eating pork chop or butt is healthier than eating bacon at the same amount. Because Bacon is high in fat and salt while pork chop, the white meat isn't much more fat than chicken thighs.

A pork chop without some fat is going to be very dry.

More importantly bacon and most other cured meat products contain potassium nitrite or sodium nitrite which are known carcinogens whereas fresh pork does not. I still eat bacon, salami, chorizo, etc but I eat a lot less than I used to because of that.
Real genuine Parma ham doesn't use those curing agents so if I want prosciutto these days I always go for that even if a nice Spanish jamon iberico is actually what I prefer in terms of flavour.
That just means it needs to be cooked properly. If a piece of meat is very lean then cook it carefully in some sort of fat so it doesn't dry out. Pork tenderloin is very lean, but if cooked nicely it is delicious.
