It isn't limited to Mormons. People tend to settle where they are comfortable...

Of course not. But it's an added layer for Mormons.

Lots of unnecessary defensiveness when the topic of Utah comes up on CB.

I can't imagine why

Only because Mormons who didn't grow up in Utah love to bag on Utah so much.
