Fun fact: Poland literally begged for that on their knees, offering all manners of vassal pledges in exchange, for nearly 30 years. It's been finally graciously granted by the sovereign in 2019, but it's only on 90 days and you must still get permit in ESTA (which you basically can't get if you were ever convicted or for many other reasons).

Most of these countries are in the ESTA program. Only Canada is visa exempt.

Yeah i know. Really ironic, they can still refuse them based on a whim, and i bet diamonds against nuts that some countries are getting much higher ratio of refusals than some others.

I know people who were refused because they'd been to Cuba some time previously.

They were accepted with a second application but had lost their plane tickets.
