Why is it puzzling? It's not like we have any sort of choice over what sort of society we live in.

Capitalism is in the process of destroying our entire ecosystem through exponentially increasing consumption and exponentially increasing waste, sustained over two centuries.

Many people would like to have a livable biosphere for their grandchildren, so when corporations make an agreement to be profoundly wasteful in order to maximize profit, they hate it.

Religious beliefs like capitalism are not universally shared. You shouldn't be puzzled when other people don't share your beliefs, particularly when that belief system is devastating our hopes for any livable future.
