On the Internet nobody knows you are a dog.
There is a wide spectrum of age, experience, and attitude in the programming population. Hot take: I am guessing that a lot of the noisy hating and hemming and hawing comes from the newer, less experienced cohort, we just can't tell on the Internet and so the perception skews that a significant fraction of all programmers think this way. I am basing this on having been there, done that, where I would scoff with indignation at any software not written in hand-optimized assembler with a bunch of unnecessary (to my newbie self) layers of abstraction.
