History bears a large part of the blame
History bears a large part of the blame. The competition of the NL and the AL (and its former incarnations) predate the last two centuries. From the beginning, the differences in price, rules and level of competition have fueled this ever idiotic debate of the National League vs. the American League.

When the DH came along in the 70s, it revolutionized the game in favor of the AL. It’s an advantage that has tipped the scales in the debate, allowing for AL teams to post higher batting averages every year since 1973. (Between 1973 and 2010, the NL has batted an average of .258 and the AL has batted an average of .265). I don’t think it’s far-fetched to say the argument of which league is better has ever ended. But we all really know the answer.
