You have to keep in mind that V is an up and coming language, that is an alternative to Go, and somewhat to Rust. V is in the categories of C and Go alternatives. There are many other competing languages in V's categories, such as Zig, Odin, Nim, etc...
Not too hard to see how "enemies" and rivals can "pop out of the woodwork" to take shots, the more popular that V becomes or the more they might feel that V is a threat to their interests.
As for Go and Rust, they are backed by major companies, where "enemies" of their language will simply not get any or little media "airtime" nor enough traction to establish a negative public narrative that can stick. You can attempt to say something negative about them, but will be ignored or drowned out in various ways.
