Frankly because of the extreme arrogance originally displayed by Poettering and his cronies, in the vein of Apple-style "you're holding it wrong" when people would raise valid criticisms of some early systemd warts.

Nowadays systemd is pretty good and not deserving of the hate it gets, but early on the opposite was true.

I agree with you. I generally enjoy using systemd, but I wouldn't give Poettering very many points for PR.
