Since few do international to international connections, the international to domestic connection (with change of aircraft nearly always) is the awkward case (combined with customs, immigration and not transit option).
For most major USA airports, international and domestic are separated to varying degrees
In the USA, Domestic to international is easier schedule / operate as there is not exit immigration.
