I don't know if De Vos is just trying to stir up attention or if he's really that naive, but international soccer is still a part of the big business machine that the game has become, and committing to a team that has shown little reason to get excited about over a perennial power (even if you're an outsider there) isn't going to be the best business decision for a young player.
I think De Vos is a former captain who played for Canada since u17 days. So he inherently hates guys like this.

Hart, in a perfect world, should tell them to shove it. But he can't afford to when they get to the HEX and the pressure increases. Canada needs as much depth and as many players as possible to survive a 10 game round.
