It's just an extension of using someone's name. Is that virtue signaling, too? Or is the problem really that it's new and scary?

I frequently use pronouns for people whose names I have no interest in knowing, so it's definitely an extension. I just think it's an onerous one.

This. The crowd that replaced suits and ties with jeans and t-shirts are now nervous that someone is coming along to upend their status quo of culture and norms and they don't much like the idea.

The people who fought against the changes in dress codes claimed jeans and t's had all manner of impact on the professional setting of the workplace.

Is it really an imposition, when your profession includes declaring what OS you're using so you can create usable bug reports, to declare your pronouns on some form somewhere?
