I really don't think that the problem is security concerns or anything, I feel that it's over fear of Chinese OEMs. Since 2007, a lot of people were saying that the Chinese OEMs will invade the US market. And to be honest, if the day comes and the Chinese manufacturers come to the US and their phones become available in the carriers stores, they will invade it.
Say what you say about iPhones and Galaxies. From my experience, Americans love Chinese smartphones. I'm not American, but I study in the US. I have a Huawei P10 Plus, my classmates are always impressed by its design, performance and camera quality. One of them even sold his iPhone 7 Plus and bought the Mate 9 (available in US). He told me that he never thought that it'll be this good. Another one was having launch near me and he is a tech nerd like me and told me that if it weren't for iMessage he would've bought the Mate 9. So this shows that people are actually liking these phones and they want to try them.
I believe that the problem doesn't only come from carriers, I believe that it also comes from Apple and Samsung. They don't want to have competition in the US. I know that this is crazy, but I think its true.

All started under Obama when he banned Intel from selling HPC CPUs to China and directed Sprint not to use Huawei backend equipments

Americans are afraid of competition. And they themselves are already spying on everybody.

Perhaps a little pressure on the politicians from Apple. Good news is you can get a Huawei phone without all the AT&T bloat.
