We must take all things in context.
While I do not think Busch Lt the best I do think it a good beer.
A few examples of good American beers: Budweiser, Busch, Coors, Anchor Brewing's Steam, Anchor Porter; Anchor Wheat, Sierra Nevada Brewing's Pale Ale; Porter; Wheat, Boston Brewing Co's Samuel Adams; Wheat; Triple Bock. There are many more selections of good American beers as well.
1. It is a matter of taste.
We all have different tastes in both food and beverage. I like most any beer although I prefer Belgian Trappist beers the most. Should I laugh and scoff at those that make or drink Sam Adams or Budweiser (I drink those also) becuase it does not have the fuller pungent flavors of my beer of choice? I also like Continental Pilsener but there is always some level of flavor loss with importation. There exists more choices and tastes with the beers brewed by "craft" brewers these days. Ask yourself if you like liver. Many people love it where many others think it disgusting. It is a matter of taste.
2. Speaking from a professional perspective Anheuser Busch has some of the highest quality of beers in the USA/World. Is it marketing, perhaps? But if someone was selling dead skunk juice and had funny and entertaining commercials during your favorite show, would you buy the skunk juice? It is highly likey that you would not. So it must be more. Perhaps the laws of supply and demand. People demand something (light flavored beers) and an interprising individual makes it. Anheuser Bush uses the freshest ingriedents in the industry. They important the highly desired and prized noble hop variety Hallertau from Germany. When they say they know of no other beer that cost as much to produce, it is fact. Compare the choices of beers, including light beers, to the variety of soda (lime in soda!?), caffeine in water. People want it and someone is drinking them or they would not last long.
The sulfer that people smell and perhaps taste in Miller beers is dimethyl sulfide (DMS) it is a vegatable-corn-like aeromatic compound that is derived from the corn grits that Miller uses in its beer. The very reason Anheuser Busch and Coors uses rice. Rice has a much cleaner flavor profile.
Again a matter of taste.
3. The national brewing companies enjoy so much success for many reasons. Some of these reasons include history, quality, mass appeal, marketing...
Light Beers:
As for a light beer being made for people that do not like the taste of beer I say, no. Actually there is some truth to that but it is over-simplified to say that. Also consider a reduction in calories and originally a slight reduction in alcohol. It does have the "taste of beer" to those trained in the sensory analysis of beer. But it is true that the lighter subtle flavor profile appeals to many (many) beer drinkers.
Bottom line to me is, enjoy all beers for what they are a wonderfully refreshing malt beverage. Tastes will vary-don't sweat it.
Enjoy

try a microbrew- Vermont has at least 19 micro breweries that make better beer than Busch Light. Trust me on that one...

I wish that Busch really was good beer, as it is cheap enough, but I doubt it is good like you say...
