There are several reasons behind it, but the main one is forced integration and acculturation by those still pushing for an Atlantic Union started by Rhodes. I'm pretty sure that you've read Streit's book, Union Now, which was about this very topic. Streit, a socialist, was a Rhodes disciple that was pushing for an eventual world government, which is what the Rhodes Scholarship was started to help along. This was Trotsky's wish as well with international socialism.
"In Streit's own words, Atlantic Union, now expanded to include Western Europe, was the first step towards 'total world government:' It [Union Now] proclaimed the need of world government and insisted that no country needed this more urgently than the United States. Streit, who has been a close associate of Communists and socialists all his adult life, has no hostility towards collectivism. He said in Union Now: 'Democracy not only allows mankind to choose freely between capitalism and collectivism, but it includes Marxist governments.' In his pamphlets, Streit asks the question: 'Does the rise of socialism in some Western European democracies prevent our federating with them?' He answers with an emphatic 'No !'" [SIC]
"The work for Atlantic Union is being worked towards by the Streit Council." _Wiki on Atlantic Union. Though the World Federalists are pushing for the same thing.
I just read an article at the Institute of World Politics titled: Building the Atlantic World, by Tierney Jr. (Dec. 4th, 2020), which stated:
"Strausz-Hupe, a native of Austria who would later serve as U.S. Ambassador to five separate posts including NATO, had long held this view in his writings. In 1942, as world war raged throughout the globe, he predicted that “As policy evolves toward several continental systems and technology accentuates the importance of large, contiguous areas, the national state will be a thing of the past” (Geopolitics: The Struggle for Space and Power).
"Such a vision, held for centuries by others but never realized in full, still remains a theoretical construct, despite the European Union (1992), several trade groups, and other associated but “fraternal” unities. England’s “Brexit” departure and the move toward centralized regimes in eastern Europe demonstrates [SIC] the tensions that still dominate between national vs. transnational political allegiance.
"The 'status quo' remains an alive and powerful intellectual mindset that continues to retard the momentum that 'Atlantic Union' adherents still seek. 'Rome wasn’t built in a day' may serve as a reminder for patience and deliberation, but slogans do not necessarily serve causation." [SIC]
