I agree with that, but “I’m from California” does have a different ring to it than “I’m from America”

it also just makes more sense in general, no one would say “hi i’m from the EU”, so why on earth do people say “hi i’m from the US” or “hi i’m from canada”?

People do say “hi I’m from the US” and “hi I’m from canada”. They are both countries and people can tie their identity to it. There certainly are people who say “hi I’m from europe”, but not many. Europe also isn’t a country and doesn’t have the level of autonomy that the US and Canada (or Germany for that matter) have.
