Maybe what people want to actually express is their connection to that specific place because they not only were born there but also grew up in that place.
So they adapted to the culture there, too, and therefore feel a certain pride for their homeland.
You probably won't hear "I'm proud of being born in place X on a stop during a trip from place Y to Z" for that reason.
