As the great Thomas Sowell points out it’s simply a case of the deadly sin of Envy.
The classic example of this is the reaction to the practice of Judaism.
The Jews succeed wherever they go and under the most trying of circumstances due to their Culture, and those who hate them are unwilling to concede that they are relatively poor and unhappy because they, the haters, are unwilling to change and emulate the Jews with their adherence to Biblical principles.
The haters would rather drag the whole world down to their ever-descending level of failure than believe they are doing and believing something wrong in their own lives.
