ELI5: Where did the H go in "Herbs" in America?

As cliched as it is to laugh about Americans saying "fanny" instead of "arse" and all that, I genuinely don't understand why Americans drop the "H" in "Herb". It's not a thing in general, to drop H's is it? So why that?

It was originally a French word, who pronounced it without the H. When it was adopted into English by the English, we pronounced it as though it were an English word, but American culture instead kept the French pronunciation. In a nutshell.
