What a shock, people are more connected to the place they grew up in and have investment in than the place they never knew and never gave a second thought until she was told she was born there (and yes, them not caring is natural KNN).

The same dilemma is used in Fire Emblem Fates I'm told where you have to pick between your natural family and the adopted one you were raised/kidnapped in, except that's an actual dillemma, since you were kidnapped and your natural family remembers you and missed you, but your adopted family loved you as their own and have been there all your life, so it's an actually hard choice. You also won't see Irish-Descended Australians weeping for the lost homeland of their anscestors (not enough to move back there anyway), and indeed it's entirely possible for them to actively dislike it (Yahtzee Croshaw from Zero Punctuation was born in England, but raised in Brisbane, Australia and frequently takes the piss out of England).

As for the AKs not reporting back, that's just from the trailers. We don't even know if those models are capable of recording visual data to be sent back to command.

They probably did shoot some Nevermores and Griffons down, but there was too many and some slipped by the defense perimiter ("How'd it get past the Kingdom's defenses?" "It wasn't alone").
