We never liked it. In school every canadian geography class HAS to go through this :

Kid: "But miss, if America is the continent why are USA citizen called Americans?"

Teacher: "Because they're arrogant ego monsters that believe the world revolves around their asshole, Billy. "

My take is that they did not have creativity to come up with a name for their country, it’s just a bunch of states in America; so there’s little choice of a practical thing to call them
