It sounds like you might be filtering through your own bias. It's a symbol for commemorating those that have died in service of this country.
That inevitably gets picked up by some for its nationalist connotations - like a St. George flag or a Bull Dog.
In the last few years there's been a few "you're not even allowed to wear Poppies any more" and the "PC brigade are now telling us they're racist" bullshit stories, although Tbh I think these have always been around.
