Because when push comes to shove those without teeth will be bitten. Those who are able to leverage force (whether economic, political, or physical) frequently do so.
People who are wrong about something are still people, and you won't notice when you're wrong like them, so why can't you empathize sometimes?
Oh dear no. Sure, they're still people, but if they've chosen to be mean about their views eventually they're going to be treated with reciprocity. It is not valid to say that 'you won't notice when you're wrong' as many people actively engage in self-reflection and other approaches so as to improve their decision-making.
When those asking for empathy habitually deny it to others, it's reasonable to question whether their request is made in good faith or is a mere gambit. The more a person's behavior resembles the latter, the more reasonable it is to cut them off.
