There is a reflex over and over again that "criticizing the shiny thing I love is criticizing my taste, therefore I will react against you."
I think you've got a gorgeous parallel there. "X bothers you, but it doesn't bother me, so I don't see why you're making such a fuss." And the only answer is "If you'll shut up and listen, you might see why." But it's so hard to shut up...
