Why has general usage seemingly changed from "left-wing" to "leftist"? Simply because the similarity to other "-ist" type words makes it more seem more pejorative?
For e.g. racist.
I admit, I've preferred the use of Brexist over Brexiter to describe people for that reason, glass houses, stones etc.
