Can someone please outline the main reasons people are upset with these sites for choosing to do this?

There are 3 very important things that have to be respected when using someone's work. Consent, credit, and compensation. The data is being taken without the consent of users, they're not being credited for anything, and they don't receive so much as a cent in exchange.
