I think people are afraid to do this in the US because they will be suspected of pick-pocketing it or some other form of liability.



This doesn't make any sense. If you run to return a dropped phone/wallet to someone they don't accuse you of pickpocketing them. Not unless you maybe drained the wallet of cash first.

I've handed people stuff they've dropped many times and usually get a polite thank you for the effort. The idea that they would be hostile to you is just crazy.
