That's the only half-way plausible explanation I've ever come up with as well.
Soaps were known for being set in vague Anytown, USA locations, probably so that viewers from anywhere in the country could easily imagine it to be a home of their own.
And I did read an explanation from a P&G spokesperson, back when the article THE was dropped from the title. She said it was done to "modernize" the show and attract younger viewers.
Even if I could swallow the rational for the name of the locale being changed, the reason given for editing the title was abjectly stupid.
Executives sticking their fingers in the pot to justify their salaries, I suppose.🙄
