Why is there such strong disdain towards non-physicalist theories of consciousness?

I say disdain, cause I've read a few papers and articles recently and it seems like alongside regular criticisms of stuff like dualism, panpsychism, a lot of people really seem to have these really like....emotional reactions to it. Whether it be throwing insults and buzzwords or being just completely dismissive and scornful towards the mere existence of other ideas.

A lot of these other ideas depend on undiscovered or undetected physics (or some other nature for the universe), for example that the brain is a radio for consciousness, but the argument doesn't make a claim for the medium of transmission or what the underlying nature really is in a physical way at all etc, so this makes it less-well founded under the scrutiny of current understanding. People have very strong beliefs, and argue very passionately or even claim that we can't know anything about consciousness at all.  Coming up against that passion would make anyone salty about the whole thing.  The journey to Physicalism being a natural conclusion is very short for some people today and the frustration isn't always dealt with responsibly or with patience and charity.
