I think half of it is a dislike of Froome (seems French media see him as 'coming from nowhere' in how he broke through and obvs his ugly style on the bike doesn't endear him to the purists) and a loathing of Sky's modus operandi and budget which is perceived as allowing them to manipulate the rules and stifle other teams. Lots and lots of people talking about their supposed teams of lawyers letting them string up the UCI...
Jiffy bags, TUES, Asthma, marginal gains, testosterone deliveries obviously have their part to play in this so not exactly plucked out of thin air. Damned by association would be the way to look at it. If it was Astana or Movistar would it be any different?
