Dutch people don't mind it being called Holland, unless they are from the part of Holland that isn't in Holland.
It's a province of the Netherlands that was massively powerful compared to all the others, Amsterdam, Den Haag & Rotterdam are all in Holland. They were the main trading powers and so Holland became the colloquial name for the Netherlands.

We are British!! Yet the Scottish football fans boo their own National anthem.They boo Flower of Scotland ??
On a weekly basis they boo it around the country when the Union Bears sing it on the 90th minute
They were filmed singing ‘Lizzies in a box’ in Germany
Ahhh but it’s only banter from the wee rascals!! Bollocks!!

The pie company took them to court and won the exclusive rights to use the name.When did Holland stop being called Holland?
Holland can only be called Holland these days, in relation to the territory, if you add 'cheese and onion' after it.
And that seems fair....
