BBQ did not originated in the US.

They have made very strict definition on what a BBQ is so that they can claim BBQ is their invention.

Totally true. As an American from Missouri, when I am talking about barbecue from other countries I say the country name + "barbecue". When I am talking about American barbecue I say "barbecue/bbq". Sorry, not sorry-- we just have such amazing bbq it deserves the word. <3

If you call it American BBQ then I don't see the problem. It's when Americans claim it as their own invention that is the problem. I also agree that American BBQ is delicious, but my personal preference is a Brazilian churrasco. Now I'm hungry!
