I can only guess the following:

1. They want to justify their purchase in some way
2. They fear if there's too many "wrong" opinions of X then the creators will go along with those opinions instead of the "correct" opinions
3. Related to #2, they fear their favorite series will degrade or die out if there's too many "wrong" opinions about said series. Or the opposite, they feel their favorite series deserves more attention.
4. They simply don't like their opinions being seen as "wrong"

Personally I'm baffled when folks say something along the lines of "You only like/dislike X because you don't know better"
