Americans, why do you call it "4th of July" when you write date formats "Month/Day" supposedly because you all say "July 4th"?

I am just conjecturing here, but I think we don't say Independence Day much out of some combination of the U.K. being one of strongest allies on the one hand and a desire to be strong and ergo never "dependent" on the other. I'm pretty sure it used to be more common to say Independence Day.
