Yeah, I've told this to my American friends. It simply isn't popular because it's not a college sport, plus every athletic person is gonna do a school sport(scholarships and whatnot). As you say, if you're 6'4 and athletic, you're either playing basketball or american football already for sure.
Average international handball player is built like an NFL linebacker or tight end lol

If you’re in northern Finland/Sweden/Norway there’s very little daylight in the winter. Sun comes “up” at 11AM and it’s dark by 1-2pm. And it’s often so cloudy you don’t actually notice the sun for weeks at a time

Yeah, Americans would actually love it. It's basically violent basketball mixed with hockey rules(actual goal, two-minute suspensions).
