I have heard that US English is much closer to the English of the 1600s, whereas ours evolved under the influence of French, and I guess some things dropped out of common usage. Gotten being one of them, posssibly until the invention of YouTube sped up globalisation.

I was watching a video about that the other day, turns out the generic American accent is probably closer to the English accent of the time than ours is.
