Tried finding this answer in other places, but couldn't find a decent answer. Why did the Iroquois constantly favor the British over the French?

I am aware that the the French helped Native American tribes that were hostile towards the Iroquois, but how couldn't the Iroquois see that British colonization was more of a threat to their way of life than French colonization?

I just find it odd that the Iroquois would rather fight off a few French traders than the swarms of English colonists that were settling the frontier, especially during the French and Indian War. I feel like if they had allied with the French, it would have ended better for them.
