I don't think that people are demonizing them for attempting to migrate to Linux.

I'm pretty sure (because of my own reaction to this news, as well as the other comments) that it's to do with people's dislike of kernel-level anti-cheat and EA's attempt to bring that to Linux.

Which also doesn't make sense to me, we already have a few anti-cheats on Linux

Yes, I'm sure we do, but while things like Battleye and Easy Anti-cheat, and so on do work on Linux to an extent, but they don't really have access to the Linux kernel.
