Perhaps... but more often than not it's that we are ignorant of the differences between the accents. Also, I suppose there are a multitude of accents across different regions of the United States and Canada, which makes the whole thing more complicated.

There are plenty of unique accents across the UK too (some distinctly more pleasant than others). There are regional differences and differences between the 'social classes' - which are probably not supposed to exist but do.
