You must have missed the initial memo. It is countries in the EU who made it a legal requirement, for those not willing to do jail time, to charge VAT. It was not a whim of Linden Labs. But that VAT is invested in essential social services in the EU. Surely you don't object to paying your fair share of social services for all?
It was a LL policy decision. I quoted the initial memo in the body of my post.
