This shouldn’t have bothered me so much but, since when the burden of proof is on those who question the validity of a statement?

That would mean everything I say must be taken as valid unless you can prove them wrong. In some cases you would have to prove the absence of things which is impossible. And if I have the loudest megaphone, my “facts” would dominate.

I don’t think you would prefer that to everyone being responsible for providing proof of validity for their statements.
