Probably the same reason people get upset every time F1 or MotoGP add a new race to the calendar in some authoritarian country in the Middle East, but intensified because this time it's happening at home and they feel like they have some skin in the game. Yeah, the race itself could be cool as a spectacle, but I'd rather series I enjoy didn't keep signing up to sportswash the reputation of yet more authoritarian scum.
