Because picking a good marriage partner is ableist. That's why it's controversial.

For example, people prefer good looking people as marriage partners. That makes people who are not good looking sad. And you can imagine for other traits like income, age, height, social status.

What a time to be able to read.
They were clearly joking. I think.
I'm going to assume that you believe that there is only one standard for "good looking people" and that everyone conforms to it?
What "good looking" means might vary somewhat from person to person, but it's not completely subjective. Some people look better than others, which makes them more desirable partners in general.
I beg to differ, but this isn't a hill I care about dying on, so I'll leave it at that.
