They're disliked because they've been overused to the point of losing any practical meaning, and it's transparent that they're only used for point-scoring and intra-tribal signalling. There's just nothing there to get that annoyed about, really.
What I think the difference shows is that there is a fundamental part of the hierarchical/authoritarian mindset that objects to being labeled by someone in the out-group no matter the label, and that objecting to that labeling is itself an in-group marker.
