Because it’s a dead-end tech that’s holding us back and destroying the place where we all live. If you insist on pursuing it for your own pleasure, knowing what we all know now, you may be a villain.

Most emissions come from grid energy. The greens cancelled nuclear and were the real villains in the end.

but the grandparent poster's problem isn't with ICE itself, but with "emotion, driving as an experience" etc.

In other words, the grandparent poster's argument is merely that people shouldn't be basing decisions on their (flawed) emotional attachment to driving as an experience, and would like such to be shamed and vilified.

This is a moralistic argument. It has nothing to do with environmentalism, but is using climate change as a platform to push a personal agenda or world view. In other words, it's a woke argument.
