In the US, you actually have to register your business as a foreign entity in every state you operate in (foreign in this context means “out-of-state”) and it’s a minor annoyance, it can and does delay business.
Indeed. I'd say a major annoyance. After all it includes filing taxes and sometimes you have to "align" your company name if for example you apply for federal grants.

What would be the benefit?
Right now you can incorporate a company anywhere in the EU, where-ever is the most advantageous, and do business anywhere.
I think the same goes in the US and that does not seem to slow them down...

Well, the argument is that EU start-ups are lagging because of the lack of EU-level legal entity, which is obviously not true...
In fact the best way for the EU to help start-ups is to stay out of the way as much as possible (a big ask...)
