I don't think that's the cause. "Born and raised" is more American. "Born and bred" is more British. I think you're seeing America overtake Britain in English-language publishing output.

You might occasionally still hear something like that in New England where there's a remaining hint of class dynasties, but you're not going to hear it in the rest of the states.
