Speaking as an American, it's because we have a long history of collaborative efforts between capital and government to depress or destroy labor movements. The black/white perspectives on strikes is one such example, particularly because almost all of our jobs start with some anti-labor training [1]. There was also the air traffic controller strike that was deemed illegal by Ronald Reagan [2] and the more recent efforts by companies such as Starbucks outright shuttering stores or harassing employees to stop unionization.
Within this framework, there's a lot of people who view strikes as not just wrong but morally wrong.
