It doesn't.

But if the new system is better than the old one, why would comparing it to the old one imply that anyone using the new one should be ashamed of doing so?

It wouldn't.

But it turns out that the new system is significantly worse than the old one, for little to no practical benefit. That's why people are comparing and complaining.
