"Own the libs" is a mantra for some people.

Basically because it's a high-mid-tier, nice modern car. Comparatively it has a quieter and smoother ride will allow me to make phone calls on my commute, using carplay to make the calls, read messages to me, and play music through the incredible sounding large badass speakers. The ride is much, much, much smoother. It'll be much more comfortable for a long road trip. There will be more room in the cab for stuff like say, my wife AND my dog. It comes with a warranty that I can use at any number of locations near me. Parts are still made for it and I can buy them here. It has R17 tires, 4 wheel drive, and anti-lock braking, electronic traction assist, TPMS, it will tell me when there might be ice on the road so I should proceed with caution, it has an advanced cruise control system with radar and lane keep assist, etc., etc., etc.

Because people who hate a thing are generally not the most knowledgeable about it and even if they know their judgement is clouded by hate. They only like the alternative to be contrarian.

I'm not gonna ask PETA for tips on raising beef steers, I'm not gonna ask Joe Biden what gun I should buy and I'm not gonna ask /r/fuckcars what car I should buy. And this is on top of the usual Reddit circle jerks and groupthink that make asking for advice there for anything of meaningful stakes questionable in general.
