Same reason the people who profess their love of Fontaine also usually hate Natlan. It had nothing to do with the actually plot or lore or anything but with the characterization.
>Fontaine was a frumpy but cute girlfailure taking the backdrop to her super omega ancient dragon God who shows up at every climax to save the day and steal the spotlight and his only flaw is he cries in private sometimes
>all the females except maybe Navia are given no importance and have super conservative designs while males are the ones mostly at the center of events happening. Even then Navia was just a supporting character for others while having to be saved by Neuv herself in the end as did basically every other character)
In juxtaposition, Natlan is made for straight men. The difference is that straight men said what they like and/or dislike about Fontaine and like and/or dislike about Natlan honestly(me like sexy girls *seal clap*) while the other side makes up roundabout excuses that are contradicted by previous regions or they have to revise history when new things come up outside of that frame of reference(All of a sudden scrambling over themselves defending designs like Lauma and Escoffier despite being very sexualized like recent designs just because they come from outside of Natlan and one of their reasons for crying about Natlan was how sexy the female characters were)
Their behavior is really obvious if you pay attention.
