STS had the Air Force's cross-range requirement, a much better cargo bay design and the Canadarm. Plus an actual operational history.

The Shuttle served it’s design purposes. Polar orbit capabilities. LEO extraction.

Soviets built a lot of bad replicas of Western tech. Like the TU-144 replica of the Concorde built with shitty Soviet metal and engineering flaws. It cracked in half and crashed into the ground.
