At least for Italy, the teams usually represent your city (Roma, Fiorentina for example) or region (Lazio). Apart from Juventus, Milan and Inter (supported everywhere in Italy), supporting a smaller team often means supporting the city it represents, taking pride in it and of course hoping for the victory and success of the team. I wouldn't say that victory is the main reason someone supports a team, sometimes it's also good just watching the team

I guess. But, wouldn’t want the situation to changed such that all teams in Serie A split revenue equally between all 20 teams? Cuz that way, the teams at the bottom may challenge the top of the table and we’d see new teams win (not just Roma, Juve, Inter, AC, Napoli, Atalanta, etc)
Why should they though? Why should the popular teams share their ticket revenue, sponsorships or merchandise sales?
That just discourages teams from actually investing in the team to improve.
Not to mention that'd would make it near impossible for promoted Serie B teams to compete and stay up.
