Again, plenty of justification for it if the writers can do their jobs and find a way for it to fit. What it sounds to me like your saying is: "no reason currently exists for the NCR/Legion/BOS/Enclave/etc. to be (insert location here) and that means there's no reason to even try to figure out a reason they could be." Besides, there's no justification for any particular faction to NOT be anywhere in the U.S. unless they've been canonically wiped out. If the writers want to put a faction somewhere, it'll be put there, period. Really though, it doesn't matter to me HOW a particular faction gets anywhere, even if it's really stupid. They could be abducted and brought there by aliens for all I care, I just want them there.
Yes, there is a canonal reason for a faction to not be somewhere besides being wiped out, its called "they haven't expanded that far into the country".
And saying that even a stupid reason would suffice really only shows how little you care about the quality, and believability, of the game world.
Also, the BoS, and the Ecnalve, do have an excuse for being anywhere, they are essentially tech cultists, and try to horde tech, them sending out groups to places to recover tech makes sense.
the NCR, and Legion, are far to focused on keeping their fledgling nations together, which really doesn't warrant sending people out across the country.
