I think it’s for a few reasons. The biggest being its just the current ideal sexy body type and it appeals to a lot of dudes and dudettes in general and nothing else. That would be the main one.
For the Anti-SJW types I think it’s just part of the OWN THE LIBS thing. In 2014 the body type’s prevalence got criticized; sometimes in good thought out ways, sometimes by a teen on social media with all the grace of a teen on social media; and it seemed to light a fire under their ass that turned basic “this is sexy” into a philosophy “this is sexy and must be protected from those blue hairs.”
Ironic because plenty of the people who criticized it either grew up and got more nuanced or are super fucking horny to begin with. There’s even a term now for people who unironically yell about sex bad; SWERF.
