It's just elitism. They think because they've suffered to learn C and have learned all the footguns of the language that they are smarter than people who haven't, so they see anything higher level than C as being a baby language for babies. 30 years ago I'm sure there was the equivalent of people who exclusively worked in assembly who thought the same about C programmers.
