Really controversial but my honest opinion: That's because programming languages, and its natural language counterpart, too, are nowadays increasing and more likely in becoming a political tool, rather than itself being a tech tool.
I observed this through observation of the attacks to Rust due to the huge presence of LGBT people.
Now while I'm pretty much straight myself, I don't reject LGBT people and don't want to partake in identity politics.
I just want things that works no matter what background you have, yet there are some people attacking Rust because of its inclusiveness nature.
And just like Linux is being perceived as nerdy and geeky and "gaming socks ready", the tokenization of things, and there attaching political meanings to it, are quickly coming to everything, so perhaps I'm too general here as well.
Let's say it is not political, but definitely adding more meanings to its technical origin and nature
