They're banned in most theme parks and a lot of other places because they do bother other people. There seems to be a serious overlap of people who spend money on them and a complete lack of awareness for surroundings. I think the main reason initially was people trying to take selfies on things like rollercoasters but the ban spread more from people taking them in other dangerous places and disregarding others around them to get the selfie.
