When you do not have the language (or willingness) to speak to taste or style, then there's an easy habit for every choice - however trivial - to be framed as a moral one.
What drives this is that, surprise, sometimes people don't like things for personal, ephemeral reasons. And that *should* be ok, but unless there's space for it to be ok, then that like needs to be *justified*, which means either faux academic analysis or moral judgement.
Faux analysis is it's own sort of nonsense, and it can be fun or toxic, but it's at least complicated and takes some work.
It's way easier to just treat roll to hit as a moral failing.

I mean, this isn't a shock. We have a strong habit of framing our Opinions as Truth because that lets us feel far less uncertain about our place in the world. Lots of tools for doing that, so the trick is to help build the tools to NOT do that. :)
