Having to pledge loyalty to a king/queen upon taking office or natualization is quite weird, even if its only ceremonial.

I’m neither American nor from a monarchy, but pledging allegiance to your country still seems less weird than to a specific person. Like, what you are quoting still “on behalf of the United States” as opposed to, say, the president. Both are weird, but pledging allegiance to a person feels weirder to me.
