It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don't travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don't often have to tell people where we're from who don't already have a good grasp of American geography.
Also, frankly, people can usually tell we're American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.
