From my perspective I think the founders allowed potential divided allegiance, although not encouraged at nearly every level of govt. except potus, just MHO.

I agree. I just think they felt that naturalized citizen parents would not have divided allegiance, and so their child would be raised in a house with undivided allegiance for the US.

But the very citizenship of a child born to a non-citizen, no matter where the birth, opens up a question of allegiance. Obama, by operation of UK law, was born a dual-citizen.
