Could it be because it's true?

That's a different question entirely.  I don't think Linux developers hate
users.  I'd imagine that most have an attitude similar to mine:  If someone
wants to run Linux they are welcome to do so.  If they choose to run Microsoft
software instead, that's their decision.  Their actions don't bother me either
way.  I will help someone out when they require assistance but I refuse to help
those who won't help themselves (i.e. move away from Mother Microsoft).

Again, that's just me but I don't think I'm alone in my thinking here.

Because it's contrary to the license under which the Linux kernel is
distributed.  I don't think it can be made much clearer than that, frankly.
