Plus there are so many male commentators who know absolutely nothing about the game outside the premier league and spend the whole match whinging (keown, lawrenson, green to name a few!) but they seem to just get a pass because they are men?

The real reason people don’t like it is they just aren’t used to it yet. Always the same when something changes slightly.
Glenn hoddle before the Russia Saudi game literally said, "tbh I don't know anything about these 2 teams, but I'm expecting a close game"
Then proceeded to talk about England for 90 minutes.
