SLAPP suits are where a bad implementation of that system struggles. The US is a mess in many places and this is one. That doesn't mean that the concept of rule of law is an issue, but that rule of law is implemented badly in the US.

In other places, e.g. most parts of Europe, if you lose a lawsuit you have to pay for the legal council of the winner. That makes SLAPP suites much less attractive and much less dangerous, and thus they are pretty rare.
