Nothing odd about that.
The reason why America has the best food is because of this. Wave after wave is immigrants from all over the world over several hundred years, bringing their food culture, adapting, mixing with indigenous food, feeling free to experiment, and mixing with other cultures.
Just don’t call me out because “Canada”. I love Canada, have a Canada escape plan, and appreciate the differences. It’s that there’s much more culture shock going to various parts of the US than their geographically similar places in Canada.

The reason I called it odd is because a food named after Hawaii is neither invented in Hawaii nor by a Hawaiian

Uh-huh. And hamburgers weren’t invented in Hamburg and frankfurters weren’t invented in Frankfurt.
It’s pretty universal that names are both technically wrong and given by outsiders.
