Because it's original work they contributed for free. Lending others that kind of expertise and time, just that it get's used by a machine learning algorithm, which aims to reproduce this, without giving it back to them or the community in a similar free manner, feels violating.
Apart from that, creators feel ownership over their content and it feels wrong not to be asked what happens to it. (Although those probably wouldn't – or shouldn't – use SO anyway, as their content gets commercialised anyway by giving it SO for free.)

I get the feelings, but once they added the content in SO, it was no longer their content.

it was no longer their content.

all posts were supposedly licensed under creative commons

Do they have the non-commercial/no-derivative clause?
