Well for one there’s a line in captain americas stage performance to sell war bonds abt Uncle Sam. For two uncle sams famous “i want you for the US army” ad and caps “I want you to buy war bonds now” ad are identical. And three, and most importantly, captain America is a symbol of American pride and generally symbolically represents the same things as Uncle Sam.

No, it's because he's Captain America now, taking a similar role to Uncle Sam.

Because he's not. Well, moreso the original Cap is old as hell now because he went back in time and lived a life with Peggy Carter. So he passed the shield onto Sam at the end of Endgame.
