Heck, If I look real hard I might even find some California based companies that don’t pull exclusively from ancient Californian lore.

The US can trace its lineage directly back to Europe. And many of the companies in the US are founded by recent immigrants (0-2 generations, worldwide), so it makes sense that it would have a varied history to pull from that includes European mythology. The same can't really be said of China.
That being said, ancient mythology isn't something worth gatekeeping. And anyone who gets real uppity about (specifically) Norse or Celtic mythology instantly starts triggering "closet/academic racist" vibes.
