The Chiefs were never on TV in SF when I lived there, and Sunday Ticket didn't exist. I will always choose the Chiefs over the 49ers, but that doesn't mean I can't like the 49ers.
I am a lifelong Mizzou fan. But I have lived in Hawaii for 22 years, and I need a local team to root for, a team I can actually watch on TV once in a while, so I am also a Hawaii fan.
I'm also a lifelong Royals fan, but never get to see them play. I became a Giants fan while in SF, so they are my second team.
This really isn't that complicated. There is nothing "willy nilly" about this. You seem to have loyalty to your town and state, which is great, but I haven't lived in KC in 30 years and have no loyalty to that city anymore.

I also get your logic. I have never lived on the WC or even been to SF. I became immersed with the 49ers in the early 80's, and hated my hometown team that was in the NFCW then. Sure, it helped that SF was building something special, but I won't apologize for that. The Saints were a bunch of thuggish punks, and this other WC division rival was all class and finesse that would still punch opponents in the mouth. I liked the 49ers style and the players there were such a great bunch to pull for.
I don't bother to or feel a need to judge people I don't know (or know) for their sports allegiances. Not my business to, and doesn't impact my life in any way.
