That's exactly the point!
The American people didn't give any effort to pronounce it correctly. Now read it aloud and imagine your native language would be American.

Same reason why the western world pronounces many chinese and japanese cities wrong. When Marc'O'Polo went there he wrote down the names he heard as best as he could. E.G.: It's not Peking it's Beijing.
