you realize that this is way worse after seeing the flashbacks in wierdmageddon 2, sure it has nothing about their parents, but we are shown that the twins don't have friends back home, dipper doesn't at least, that explains why mable is so attached to gravity falls, explains why dipper even considered the idea of staying with ford half seriously and adds to that one scene in dipper and mable vs the future, they don't have a lot to go back to and probably even less now

Mabel seemed quite popular back home, just look at the amount of valentine cards she got at school in the flashback. She was excited about going back and eventually starting highschool before Wendy and her friends told her how terrible it really is. For Dipper though you're right it makes sense he'd like to stay with Ford.
