Hmm, honestly the word itself is uncommon now, at least where I live. I wonder if that's related.
To me, by default "welcome" means to a place. "You're welcome to the cookies" sounds archaic or British or something.
"Archaic or British" as a Brit, losing my mind at how accurate this is
Sort of. Fun fact, pronunciation-wise, American English is actually more conservative. Liz the first probably sounded like a yank.
You can find recordings of very old British speakers where, to my ear at least, it's noticeable.
Oh, yeah, I'm quite aware of this fact. Blew my mind when I found out the first time.
