I get the mentality, I just don't subscribe to it. The best analogy I could use would be if all of a sudden most MLB teams were in Canada and therefore the World Series was usually won by a Canadian based team. Even if most of the players were American's playing in Canadian cities I'm sure there would be a desire to see the World Series title return the US because baseball is America's game. The same sort of mentality has developed up here because it's been almost 2 decades since the Cup resided in Canada.

It's not really the strongest analogy because of the obviously ludicrous assumption of more baseball teams in Canada than the US, but it's the best I can think of off the top of my head.
