It smacks of grandiosity when a traveler says "back in the States the theme parks are much better." I always try to go above and beyond to be courteous to others, especially while I'm visiting their country. It's a nice way to show that being from wealthy nations doesn't mean we have to be cocky a**holes.
They also tend to make too many nation-centric assumptions about the rest of the world. Neither christep nor I are "Americans". We're transplanted local boys expressing the general mood here in HK about this vaunted HK Disney.
