This is a US/[Western?] cultural thing that I never understood. Why does the woman need to change her surname after marriage?

Because women are still largely considered the lesser counter parts to men, and we can't have their lineage (in name only, mind you) carry on.

I can’t speak for all cultures but Arabs don’t so this. I also think it is haram in Islam but not absolutely certain.
