So how are people who live in the USA expected to pay for their
Underground/bus/etc. rides when they visit London?

With an Oyster card which they top up at ticket machines.

(scratches head) Of course. *(Or at ticket windows, since USA-based
credit cards don't work at most UK vending machines.)

So how, again, are we Americans not part of the target demographic for
Oyster?

Mastercard Paypass & Visa Wave cards seem to be TfL's eventual
solution for overseas tourists.
Fare calculation, capping and billing would be processed overnight,
rather than at the gatelines as happens with Oyster.
