When I was in Japan and in Europe, they had delicious table grapes that I never see here in the States.
They had seeds in them, but the taste and the texture were so good that it was worth it.
Kind of like Concorde grapes, but sweeter.
Why don't we have grapes like they have in Japan and in Europe?

I believe you are misinformed. Most supermarkets do carry seeded black, red and green grapes. However, for whatever reason, citizens of the U.S. prefer the seedless varieties. Go figure. The seeded do certainly taste a lot better. Probably Americans are just kind of lazy when it comes to emitting the seeds from their mouths.

I have to avoid the seeded grapes, those seeds will wreck a filling.
There is a traditional Cherokee dessert made from wild grapes (much like the ones you described, they're like a Concord grape but bigger and sweeter, with a seed.) They're pulverized, some sugar is added (if you like it that way) and little bits of dough are boiled in the mixture. Grape dumplings!

Most of the red grapes I buy in Ohio have seeds.

I got seeded table grapes at the grocery store this summer on more than one occasion.

They are not as commercially successful. You can get them at health food stores and that's about it. People don't buy them so they spoil on the shelf.
